Abstract
Job loss has a significant impact on individuals, irrespective of the legal classification of their employment. These circumstances result in the worker/employee being deprived of their primary source of income, removing them from a fundamental aspect of life, endangering their possession of essential material, intellectual resources and daily livelihood. Today, most workers look for security and stability in their employment. However, these changes in the world of work are increasingly undermining the stability of employment relationships. This paper examines the potential theoretical basis for the regulation of protection against the termination of employment relationships by the employer. It is my contention that the right to protection against arbitrary termination should originate from the right to work and human dignity. To ensure all workers’ protection, it is necessary to establish a framework grounded in human rights.
