The employment relationship as a social relationship (relational justice and common sociality)

Abstract

This paper, after investigating when and why our productive economic system left the common good guidance (in pursuit of so-called «good overall» which circumvents the good of specific people) addresses the fact that the participation of workers in the original capitalist productive mechanism was a serious alienation from their genuine social structures. That is the sense of asserting that the legal relationship is not only commercial, but, above all, social. The approach proposed relational justice seeks justice in the relation, because the origin of social injustice is relational. What, beyond institutional or normative (essential to rebalance the bargaining inequality), calls attention to the living part of the relationship, participation and continuous reciprocal interaction. Ultimately enhancing the context of sociability –social relations– civilian, common which are important the «all» and «everyone».
