Abstract

The recent EUCJ judgments on the prohibition of discrimination on fixedterm work —in accordance with the provisions of Council Directive 1999/70/EC, of 28 June 1999, concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP— have generated a deep shock among Spanish labor legal operators. The legal regime of termination of temporary replacement contracts has been considered contrary to the Clause 4 of the framework agreement on fixedterm work Directive. The paper studies the legal regime applicable to other categories of fixed-term contracts in order to assess if its content is in accordance with the doctrine established by the EUCJ.
