Impact Of European Legislation And Case-Law On Elimination Of Discrimination In Employment Relations In Eu

Abstract

The present scientific article examines the current state and issues of discrimination of selected groups of employees in employment relations. We deals with the current state of EU legislation and case law in the area of non-discrimination in employment relations. The main attention is given the most important standardization activities of selected bodies of the European Union. We applied scientific methods of research such as analysis, synthesis, deduction, and comparison with regard to the nature of the topic studied. The scientific and doctrinal interpretation of the legislation in conjunction with the lessons learned from scientific literature and European case law has enabled us to find answers to the questions sought and the application problems of business practice. At the end of the article, we evaluate the results of our examination and propose ways of eliminating the identified causes of the lack of enforceability of the European Union’s anti-discrimination policy.
