Disciplinary File for Severe and Very Severe Penalties (Articles 68 and 55.1 ET)

Preliminary Procedure for Sanctions

Before imposing severe or very severe sanctions on a workers' representative or a candidate during the electoral process, the company must process an adversarial or disciplinary file. This also applies to disciplinary action against a former representative up to one year after the termination of their mandate.

The processing of this file interrupts the limitation period for professional misconduct (Article 60 ET).

Contents of the Disciplinary File

The disciplinary file must include:

• Informing the employee of the alleged facts and infractions against them.
• Granting a hearing to the person concerned and other workers' representatives,

Roman Law

Roman Law represents the legal system developed by the Roman people throughout their history. It comprises institutions created by the Roman people to address the situations encountered in the daily lives of citizens within their territory. This legal system is deeply connected to the core aspects of Roman life.

During imperial times, the Ius Civile Romanus was formed by new laws emerging from the emperors through their constitutions. It was in the sixth century AD when Emperor Justinian I collected the works of previous jurists (jurisconsults) in the Corpus Iuris Civilis. This led to Roman law being identified with the laws contained in the works commissioned by Justinian (Digestum, Codex, Novellae, Institutiones). It's important to...

Dissolution of Marriage in Islamic Law

Islamic law governs the dissolution of marriage through specific legal formulas, primarily 'divorce' and 'repudiation'. Repudiation encompasses cases of dissolution imposed unilaterally by one spouse or those resulting from the mutual agreement of the spouses.

The Path to Spanish Democracy

The opposition called for abstention during the referendum held to approve legislation for universal suffrage. This marked the beginning of the legalization of political parties and unions, as well as the dismantling of key Francoist institutions, which unfortunately triggered an outbreak of ultra-right violence, terrorist activity, and unrest from groups like ETA.

Political Consolidation and Legalization

A primary necessity for stabilizing the nation was the legalization of the Communist Party (PCE), which faced significant resistance from the military and the "bunker" (hardline Francoists). It was finally legalized in 1977.

• UCD (Union of the Democratic Centre): Led by Adolfo Suárez, this coalition brought together

Understanding Constitutional Allegations

Constitutional allegations spanning two decades have been marked by intense confrontations, impacting all sectors and leading to unexpected political outcomes.

The Constitutional Accusation (AC) Mechanism

The Constitutional Accusation (AC) serves as a control mechanism for official acts of irresponsibility or irregularities in public functions. While the AC is a vital tool, it is not always the most appropriate procedure, as constitutional responsibility may also fall under criminal or administrative law.

Bases for Impeachment Offenses

• Impeachment offenses are explicitly detailed in Article 52 of the Constitution.

Performance and Inter-Branch Relations

• Parliamentarism necessitates immediate cooperation between

The Criminal Trial: Proof and Judgment

Proof is the core activity in the criminal trial process, upon which the court founds its justification and decides the case. Initially, one can only speak of holding a party's claims; however, this alone is insufficient to support the final decision. Verification activity within the process is necessary.

Therefore, we must consider the evidence only after all research activity conducted during the instruction phase by the judge has been completed. The trial is not merely for research but for judgment, and the judging authority must always be a different subject from the one who conducted the initial investigation.

Evidence Presentation and Appreciation

Evidence is only practiced before the judge, who must... Continue reading "Criminal Trial Evidence: Proof and Judicial Assessment" »

Item 2: Understanding Labor Strikes

Definition of a Strike

The strike is the most significant form of pressure available to workers. It is defined as a collective suspension of work, previously agreed upon by the employees. During a strike, the employer is not obligated to pay wages to those participating. Furthermore, the employer must respect the right to work of employees who choose not to join the strike.

Illegal Strikes

Strikes are considered illegal under the following circumstances:

• Strikes held for political reasons unrelated to worker interests.
• Solidarity or support strikes, unless they directly impact the professional interests of those promoting them.
• Actions seeking to alter terms already established in a collective agreement.
• Rotating

Banking Services

Characteristics

Banking services are activities undertaken by a bank at the request of its customers, satisfying a need. Their price is called a commission.

Differences from Goods

• Intangibility: Services cannot be perceived by the senses. You do not know if a service is expensive or not until it is used.
• Inability to Protect with Patents: Services cannot be patented; only the name is patented (e.g., Visa).
• Perishability: If a service is not used, it is lost.
• Impossibility of Appropriation: Purchase only grants the right to use the service, not ownership.

Debits

Debits are authorizations given to the bank to make collections and payments from a bank account.

• Collections: Payroll, pensions, broadcast collections.
• Payments: Utilities (electricity,
