before the passing of Law 25, the workers of the IRHE and the INTEL were
subject to the provisions of Law 8 of February 25, 1975, and to their respective
internal labour regulations, under a special labour jurisdiction. The employer had to
notify the worker in advance and in writing about the date of and cause for
dismissal. The IRHE Internal Regulations instructed that, before proceeding to
dismiss any worker, the immediate superior had to submit a request for dismissal to
the Personnel Management Department, whereupon the latter would forward the
case to the Labour and Social Well Being Co-ordination Department for the
performance of an investigation, which had to include an interview with the worker.
