La Organización Internacional del Trabajo (en adelante OIT) se creó tras la Primera Guerra Mundial con el objetivo de facilitar la definición de estándares mínimos universales de derechos sociolaborales. La OIT desarrolla su función normativa a través de la aprobación de convenios y/o recomendaciones, que los Estados miembros pueden o no ratificar e incorporar o no, en consecuencia, a sus ordenamientos jurídicos internos. Su especificidad radica, por un lado, en su carácter de Organización internacional con vocación de universalidad y, por otro lado, en el tripartismo que caracteriza su funcionamiento, con la participación en sus órganos principales no solo de representantes de los gobiernos de los Estados miembros, sino también de las principales organizaciones sindicales y empresariales de los mismos[1]. Estas características esenciales dotan de legitimidad específica la actividad normativa de la OIT, haciéndola especialmente relevante para el reconocimiento, protección y promoción internacional de los derechos sociolaborales[2].[1] Para Philip Alston, desde el inicio del nuevo siglo asistimos a una progresiva pérdida de protagonismo de las organizaciones sindicales en la regulación de las relaciones laborales, lo que debería poner en cuestión también el tripartismo en la OIT (Alston, P., “Facing Up to the Complexities of the ILO’s Core Labour Standards Agenda”, European Journal of International Law, 2005, Vol. 16, núm. 3, pp. 467-480, p. 475). Con todo, consideramos que esta forma de funcionar que da entrada en la Organización a intereses diferentes a los estrictamente gubernamentales es un logro al que no cabe renunciar a la ligera y, por tanto, es todavía hoy una especificidad relevante a la espera de nuevas evoluciones.[2] Jordi Bonet abunda en ello al afirmar que “la OIT ha mantenido una aproximación integrada respecto de los derechos humanos: el ser humano es, en el ámbito socio-laboral, titular de un conjunto de derechos y libertades que son objeto de un tratamiento jurídico no diferenciado” (Bonet Pérez, J., Mundialización y régimen jurídico internacional del trabajo. La Organización Internacional del Trabajo como referente político-jurídico universal, Barcelona, Atelier/ANUE/UB, 2007, p. 163).

Abstract Objective: to understand how the contradictions and tensions of neoliberal policy, materialized in precarious work, affect nursing workers’ mental health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: this is a study with a qualitative and descriptive approach, analyzed in the light of neoliberal economic policy. Data were collected through virtual means, with the participation of 719 nursing workers, from April to June 2020. To organize the data, the IRaMuTeQ® software and thematic analysis were used. Results: the reports revealed the lack of value of workers and the loss of social labor rights; the progressive nature of the neoliberal policy, its threats and repercussions on workers’ mental health; and recognition by female workers that political and class participation does not occur in isolation, but collectively. Conclusion: under the aegis of neoliberal policy, the COVID-19 pandemic brought an upsurge precarious work, influencing nursing workers’ subjectivity and mental health.

Goal. The purpose of this work is to analyze the norms of the current labor legislation regarding the regulation of the relations between the employee and the employer in the introduction of any restrictions and anti-epidemic measures in the conditions of national quarantine and prevention in such conditions of violations of labor rights of employees. It is important that during the course of the COVID-19 coronary pandemic measures, they were not only effective but also violated human rights, including work. Method. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of available scientific and theoretical material, experience of foreign countries and formulation of relevant conclusions and recommendations. During the research the following methods of scientific knowledge were used: terminological, comparative, functional, system-structural, logical-normative. Results. During the research it was found that the Ukrainian legislature, including foreign experience, was able to respond promptly to the quarantine situation by adopting anti-crisis laws, which did not neglect labor legislation. This is understandable, because in connection with the announcement of quarantine in the whole territory of Ukraine, employers had to make personnel decisions, and the current legislative framework did not clearly regulate the issues that arose. Scientific novelty. The study found that the updating of labor legislation in the area of labor relations regulation during the national quarantine period allows the employer to use certain forms of labor organization, in which the basic labor rights and guarantees of employees can be preserved. Practical importance. The results of the study can be used in law-making and law enforcement activities, as well as by employers in regulating labor relations with employees during the quarantine period.

Philosophy is a search for a general understanding of values and reality by chiefly speculative rather than observational means. It signifies a natural and necessary urge in human beings to know themselves and the world in which they live and move and have their being. Hindu philosophy is intensely spiritual and has always emphasized the need for practical realization of Truth. Philosophy is a comprehensive system of ideas about human nature and the nature of the reality we live in. It is a guide for living, because the issues it addresses are basic and pervasive, determining the course we take in life and how we treat other people. Hence we can say that all the aspects of human life are influenced and governed by the philosophical consideration. As a field of study philosophy is one of the oldest disciplines. It is considered as a mother of all the sciences. In fact it is at the root of all knowledge. Education has also drawn its material from different philosophical bases. Education, like philosophy is also closely related to human life. Therefore, being an important life activity education is also greatly influenced by philosophy. Various fields of philosophy like the political philosophy, social philosophy and economic philosophy have great influence on the various aspects of education like educational procedures, processes, policies, planning and its implementation, from both the theoretical and practical aspects. In order to understand the concept of Philosophy of education it is necessary to first understand the meaning of the two terms; Philosophy and Education.

This article suggests that contrary beliefs about gender segregation and dress codes, Filipinas found it empowering. However, this article also concludes that gender segregation and dress codes also lead to isolation and loneliness. In addition, it is concluded that the fate and contentment of the overseas Filipino workers are directly dependent on who sponsors them.

This paper discusses the implementation of the Federal labor Inspectorate’s powers in the digital economy during the ongoing administrative reform. The effectiveness of this state structure is affected by its dual legal nature, such as the power of labor inspectors is aimed at protecting the rights of em-ployees. In the conditions of the digital economy and the presence of a pandemic, labor rights are fully protected, and the power of Rostrud is limited in relation to supervised objects by prohibiting cer-tain inspections. Under current conditions, the most essential activity of Rostrud is the need to form an electronic supervision system based on the results of the ongoing legal experiment on the introduction of electronic personnel document management. The use of an electronic signature in the activities of Rostrud is the first step in the possibility of imple-menting an electronic surveillance system, which was catalyzed by the pandemic. We believe that elec-tronic supervision will be the next stage of moderni-zation of Rostrud’s activities in the digital economy.
