Keywords:

Abstract
Recognition of the right to strike of immigrant workers is a widely analysed topic, particularly after the judgments of the Constitutional Court in 2007. Despite the importance of this recognition, it is necessary to deal with the problem of the lack of juridical and material conditions that make possible the effective exercise of this right, specially in a context where economic crisis and unemployment affects intensely to immigrant workers. This paper is aim to demonstrate how the legal and administrative conditions that restrict the right to work of irregular immigrants prevent the establishment of appropriate safeguards for the exercise of the right to strike. This situation is an obstruction not only for the effectiveness of the recognition of the right but also for its potential as a way to claim citizenship rights for immigrantsDownloads
