Abstract

Despite the opacity of its negotiations, the labor aspects of the TTIP –and also of the CETA– are studied here, in which an economistic enthusiasm is found in the European Union’s strategy. Its negative impact on Labor Law is undeniable, with cross referrals to the International Labor Organization that do not ensure a real protection of workers’ rights. And in addition, its regulation of the temporary mobility of natural persons supplying services also involves a clear risk of import and export of labor force as cheap product.
