SUMMARY: 1. The extension of rep\u00eachage<\/em> to fixed-term contracts.\u00a02. The interpretation of the Constitutional Court and its relationship with judicial interpretation. 3. The impossible reinstatement and the knots that come to the surface concerning rep\u00eachage<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

THE PERFECT STORM OF REP\u00caCHAGE ABUSE<\/strong> \u2014 Abstract. <\/strong>The author examines the initial orientations of case law following Constitutional Court rulings No. 128 and 129\/2024. The focus is particularly on worker protections in cases of dismissal for objective justified reason when rep\u00eachage<\/em> has not been carried out. The article critically analyzes the negative synergistic effect arising from, on the one hand, the rulings that expand rep\u00eachage<\/em> even to positions with fixed-term contracts; and, on the other hand, from the application of reinstatement protections even when the position has been eliminated \u2014 despite the Constitutional Court having excluded such protections for workers hired after March 7, 2015. Thus, a misalignment is highlighted between the authoritative interpretation of the Constitutional Court and the case law of the Court of Cassation.<\/p>\n
