Il principio lavorista al tempo delle nuove schiavitù

After reconstructing the constitutional basis of labour, the focus is on slavery. In this context there are two differences: a legal one, and a historical and socio-economic one. Regarding the legal difference, constitutional systems reject the idea that the human person can be considered a mere labour force because there is no compatibility between forms of degradation of the human person and the founding principles of the constitutional order. Regarding the historical and socio-economic difference, in the past there was slavery and only the "privileged class" who were the recipients of the "benefits" of such exploitation, while today there are forms of degradation of the worker to the "advantage" of anyone, without "class membership" and regardless of the actual availability of capital (think of riders).
