Labor ministry to appeal supreme court ruling limiting inspector access to firms

Kiswahili

The Labor Ministry has asked the State Attorney's Office to appeal the Supreme Court ruling of April 14 that requires judicial authorization for inspectors to access workplaces that coincide with a company's registered office.

The high court's decision mainly affects SMEs where the workplace and registered office coincide. The ministry led by Yolanda Díaz believes the ruling restricts the Labor and Social Security Inspectorate's operations.

Ministry sources said that, pending the appeal via an incidente de nulidad, the inspectorate continues to operate normally. Inspectors may enter workplaces except in management or document storage areas, where consent or judicial authorization will be required.

Inspector unions such as SITSS and UPIT, along with CCOO, have criticized the ruling for hindering surprise inspections and compromising labor rights protection. The decision arose from a case in the Valencian Community where a company challenged inspectors' entry alongside National Police.
