Abstract

This paper aims to resolve some key questions of constitutional compliance of the reform of 2023 (the Dignified Work Agenda) of the Portuguese Labour Code. We will analyse the paper by Professors Romano Martinez and Gonçalves da Silva and attempt to contribute to the analysis of some of the most controversial measures of the reform – the prohibition of outsourcing (art. 338.º-A), non-renounceable labour credits (art. 337.º, n.º 3), union activity in the company (art. 460.º, n.º 2) and the arbitration for the motivation of termination of collective agreements (art. 500.º-A).
