Summary/Abstract: Fundamental labour rights are regulated in the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria of 12 July 1991. Their regulation has been extended and enriched as part of the profound social changes that have taken place in Bulgaria since the end of 1989. Among the most important legal guarantees for the "protection of labour" under Article 16 of the Constitution is also the protection of basic labour rights by the Constitutional Court in its jurisprudence. It derives from Art. 149 para. 1, items 1, 2 and 4 of the Constitution, which define its powers. All provisions of the current labour law are to one degree or another directly or indirectly related to the general principles and fundamental labour rights set out in the Constitution and the Constitutional Court's case law on their application. The constitutional protection of fundamental labour rights has had a positive impact on the development of labour law. It is a guarantee for its observance, strengthening the protection of citizens' labour rights and for the establishment of the rule of law and the social state in Bulgaria.
