Il presente saggio è destinato alla pubblicazione nel volume che raccoglie gli Studi in onore di Antonio Ruggeri.

This essay (intended for Studies in honor of Antonio Ruggeri) takes into consideration the relationship between flexible labor law and equality, from a legal point of view as well as an ethical one. In particular, the author deals with the problem of the impotence of the countermeasures adopted by the legal system to counter the inequalities and discrimination produced by precarious work. The author points out that the differences do not automatically produce inequalities, but on the condition that they radically change the traditional approach and start a policy of combating precarious work based on new principles.
