Este trabajo analiza las interre-laciones entre Democracia y Derecho del Trabajo. El desarrollo histórico venezolano permite sostener que no es posible el dis-frute de derechos laborales bajo regímenes dictatoriales o autoritarios. Pero, sin liber-tad sindical, tampoco es posible avanzar en la democratización de la sociedad.
This paper analyses several inter-sections between Democracy and Labour Law. Venezuela's history figures as a clear example where workers feel constantly deprived of their labour rights when they find themselves under any dictatorial or au-thoritarian government. Moreover, without trade-union freedom, it is not possible to go ahead with the process of democratis-ing community.
