RĂSPUNDEREA JURIDICĂ ÎN CAZ DE DISCRIMINARE LA LOCUL DE MUNCĂ
LEGAL LIABILITY IN CASE OF DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE

Summary/Abstract: Discrimination is a very widespread phenomenon in the Romanian society, being encountered in the political, economic, social and cultural field or in any other field of public/social life. Discrimination may consist of any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference applied on grounds of race, nationality, ethnic origin, language, religion, social class, belief, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, non-contagious chronic illness, HIV-positive status, membership of a disadvantaged group and any other criterion the purpose or effect of which is to restrict or refuse the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms or the rights recognised by law. Unfortunately, an environment conducive to the development and manifestation of discrimination is the workplace, which is why we try, by means of this paper, to consider the definition of the notion of discrimination, its characteristics, criteria of discrimination, forms of discrimination, legal means available to the discriminated person, the measures, respectively the penalties that can be imposed, without exhausting the scope of this subject.
