The relevance of article 24 of the European Social Charter as «interposed standard» in the italian legal system. Food for thought on the margins of the constitutional relevance question raised by the labour court judge of Rome (Tribunale di Roma – sezione lavoro, ordinanza july 27, 2017)

The reduction of protections in the event of an unlawful dismissal, made by the c.d. The Job Act issued in 2014-2015 by the Italian Parliament and Government, with a particular focus to workers hired after March 7, 2015, was the subject of an order submitted by the Labor Court of Rome to the Italian Constitutional Court, on suspicion of unconstitutionality. The legal construction used by the Judge highlights the violation of Article 24 ESC as an <<interposed (standard)rule>>. It is the first time that an Italian Labor Court has raised this issue so clearly. The comment aims to identify the different plans of protection measures in this kind of hypothesis.
