Summary/Abstract: Human dignity is a fundamental value of the human society, being stipulated both in the international and national norms. The fundamental principles of law, the guaranties of citizen rights and liberties, fruits of a long evolution, aim to assure the dignity of the human person, the liberty and equality between all the citizens. The right to dignity can not be divided and concerns equally the biological life, private and personal life and, of course, professional life of every human being. Although the antidiscrimination legislation plays an important role for the protection of employee’s rights, it is not enough because the discrimination and employers’ abuses in the labor field have different forms and types of manifestation. The possible violations of the employee’s dignity are: discrimination, moral harassment, sexual harassment, violation of the intimacy of private life, violation of personal life etc.
