The new interpretative proposals of the European Court of Human Rights on the control of the labor use of the company’s technology: Barbulecu and López Ribalda

Abstract

The corporate supervisión of workers use of technological resources and, especially the messages swapped throw them, has been a controversial matter that seemed partially solved by the constitutional and jurisprudential doctrine. But the recent “Judgment of the European Court of Human Rights” establishes new criteria that implies a big change in our system, and they have to be analysed. This research analyses the situation before and last three judgements of the European Court of Human Rights. The article ends up explaining the consequences that have had on the Spanish system.
