This thesis identifies and systematizes two categories ofpractical problems that stem from work and working environmentcontexts: workplace privacy and occupational health risks. Thefocus of the discussion is on ethical justification. Do we havereason to accept a certain level of (potential) harm toemployees by virtue of the fact that they are employees, and ifso, under what circumstances? The thesis consists of a briefintroduction and three essays. InEssayI, it is argued that employees have a prima facieright to privacy, but that this right can be overridden bycompeting moral principles that follow, explicitly orimplicitly, from the contract of employment. Three types ofjustification are specified: those that refer to the employer'sinterests, those that refer to the interests of the employee,and those that refer to the interests of third parties. A setof ethical criteria is developed and used in the subsequentessay to determine the moral status of infringement ofworkplace privacy. InEssayII, these criteria are applied to three broadcategories of intrusive workplace practices: (1) monitoring andsurveillance, (2) genetic testing, and (3) drug testing.Scenarios are used to show that such practical ethical problemscan be handled systematically using proposed guidelines. It isalso shown that some practices are dubious and at least some ofthem can be replaced by less intrusive means of ensuring thedesired outcome, for instance efficiency or safety in aworkplace. EssayIII deals with the fact that health and safetystandards for employees are less protective than those thatapply to the public. Emphasis is put on the distinction betweenexposure and risk, and this distinction is claimed to be a keyfactor in the relevance of arguments in favour of such doublestandards. The analysis of 'double standards' for public andoccupational exposure to risk aims to show that a justificationof such standards is closely linked to two separate types ofissues, namely empirical and normative issues. It is claimedthat this kind of differentiation seems to be supported neitherby a reasonable conception of the contract of employment nor byany obvious ethical principle that is applicable to workplacesor work situations in general. Key words:Contract of employment, double standards,drug testing, ethics, ethical justification, exposure, genetictesting, health and safety standards, privacy, surveillance,risks, work, work environment

Until recently, the legal position of domestic workers in South Africa could be described as a relic of the nineteenth century, when the contract of employment and the common law defined the employer-employee relationship. The legal rules which regulate the relationship between the domestic worker and her employer are examined. International labour standards and the legal position of domestic workers in other countries are considered. Cognisance is taken of the social phenomenon which finds domestic workers at the convergence of three lines along which inequality is generated, namely gender, race and class. Furthermore, the unique economic forces at play in this sector are examined. The law will be stretched to its limits when attempting to resolve what is, essentially, a socio-economic problem. However, the working lives of a million people are at stake. The legislature has a constitutional, political and moral responsibility to attend to reform in this sector as a matter of urgency. / Private Law / LL.M.

RÉSUMELe Mali étant une ancienne colonie française, il y a de fortes ressemblances entre les deux droits au niveau de la définition de sanctions applicables notamment la requalification du contrat de travail, la nullité du contrat de travail. Mais l'application des sanctions dans ces deux pays ne se fait pas de la même manière. Cela s'explique par des raisons sociales, culturelles et économiques. Pour illustrer les points de convergences et de divergences entre ces deux législations, il nous a été nécessaire d'analyser les sanctions civiles, administratives et pénales dans les deux pays sur la base de l'étude en entier du droit du travail français d'avant la réforme de la loi du 13 juillet 1973 portant sur le contrôle de la cause réelle et sérieuse du licenciement jusqu'à nos jours notamment la loi du 28 juin 2008 sur la modernisation du marché du travail avec l'exemple de l'article L.1237-11 portant la rupture conventionnelle du contrat de travailDe cette comparaison, il m'a paru pertinent de faire des suggestions pour améliorer le droit du travail malien à l'image du droit français tout en l'adaptant l'avant projet unique de l'O.H.A.D.A sur le droit du travail africain à cause du développement du marché économique et social du monde et de la place qu'y occupe en Afrique de l'Ouest. Par ce que notre code du travail date de 1992 et que depuis cette date aucune reforme importante n'a été opérée. / The punishment in labor lawSUMMARYMy thesis relates to the study of the right Malian compared to the law the labour French. Mali being an old French colony, there are strong resemblances between the two rights to the level of the definition of applicable sanctions. But the application of the sanctions in these two countries is not made same manner. That is explained for corporate names, cultural and economic. To illustrate the points of convergences and divergences between these two rights, it was necessary to us to analyze the civil sanctions, administrative and penal in the two countries on the basis of in entirety of the law the labour French of before the reform of the law of bearing 13 July 1973 on the control of the real and serious cause of the dismissal until our days in particular the law of June 28 2008 studies on the modernization of the labour market with the example of the article L 1237-11 bearing conventional rupture of the contract of employmentOf this comparison, it appeared relevant to me to make suggestions to improve the law the labour Malian to the image of the French right all while adapting it preparatory project single of the O.H.A.D.A on the law the labour African because of the development of the economic and social market of the world and the place that y occupies in West Africa. By what our fair labor standards act goes back to 1992 and which since this date no reforms significant was not operated.

Le statut social des dirigeants de sociétés est un sujet en constante évolution en raison des changements de législation, et du rapprochement du régime social des indépendants vers le régime salarié, en particulier pour les petites et moyennes entreprises.Un phénomène d’optimisation à la fois sociale et fiscale a gagné les dirigeants. Ils sont amenés à s’interroger sur le choix d’un régime salarié ou non salarié. Mais pour connaître ou choisir son statut social, le dirigeant doit s’interroger sur la forme de la Société qu’il souhaite créer, ou intégrer, sur la structure juridique, les conditions d’exercice de son activité et sur sa situation tant personnelle que professionnelle. La protection sociale diffère selon le régime salarié ou non salarié non agricole, et confère ainsi des avantages plus ou moins attractifs pour le dirigeant. Le statut social du dirigeant peut lui conférer des avantages non négligeables en matière de rémunération et bénéficier ainsi de dispositifs, jusque là réservés aux salariés.Le statut social des dirigeants est-il susceptible d’évoluer vers une harmonisation du régime salarié et du régime social des indépendants ? Quel conseil donner au dirigeant en quête du statut le plus rentable pour lui, à long terme ?Deux principaux thèmes sont traités : le premier relatif à la détermination des critères, entrant en ligne de compte dans le choix du statut social du dirigeant, le second relatif aux conséquences de ce choix en vue de proposer au dirigeant, une optimisation de son statut et de sa rémunération. / The social status of corporate leaders is a topic constantly changing due to changes in legislation and the reconciliation of the non-employee to a salaried, especially for small and medium enterprises.A phenomenon of optimizing both social and fiscal won the leadership. They are led to question the choice of a salaried or self-employed. But to know or choose their social status, the officer must investigate the form of the Company that wants to create or integrate the legal structure, the conditions for the exercise of its activity and its status as personal professional.Social protection differs depending on a salaried or self-employed, and thus confers benefits more or less attractive to the manager. The status of the leader may confer significant advantages in terms of remuneration and benefit from device, hitherto devoted employees.The social status of leaders it is likely to move towards harmonization of employees and self-employed? What advice would you give to an officer in search of the most profitable status for him in the long run?Two main topics are treated : the first relating to the determination of criteria come into account in the choice of the social status of the leader, the second on the consequences of this choice in order to offer the manager.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Cristiane Maria Freitas de Mello.pdf: 814956 bytes, checksum: b0e04d3332d5cd3010f5271cc77b1b72 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-08-12 / This study aims to investigate the freedom of expression of the employee on social networks, focusing on the right to criticism and its impact on the employment contract, notably with reference to the image of the employer, because there is no law that concerns this complex discussion. The deductive method was used, and by reason of incipient discussion about the topic in Brazil, the foreign doctrine and jurisprudence has been studied with use of the comparative method. By reason of multiple laws of several derivations, this study extended to other areas of legal sciences as Constitutional, Civil and Labor law, aiming to show the connection between freedom of expression, Democratic State, as a finalistic political formula, and human dignity. Adopting this interdisciplinary perspective, it can be shown how natural persons and business' entities are bound to constitutional laws that define rights and guarantees, and can yield the assertion of the labor rights claims that are nonspecific in the company scope. Since the worker, in his special situation of subordination, has several duties that impose restrictions on his freedom of expression, the obligations of fidelity and loyalty were also studied. By reason of absence of primacy among rights to honor and image, and right of freedom of expression. It was deduced that the need for implementing the method of weighing between the principles of the factual case and preserving the essential core principle that does not prevail, even in social networks. Therefore, the reasonable exercise of the right of criticism in social networks without abuse and without the use of excessive and insulting terms is, in principle, given the importance of freedom of expression in a democratic state. This right however, does not protect either crimes of libel, defamation and slander, or the criticisms aiming to disseminate strategic information, by instances from the organization structure, methods of production or sensitive data of the company / O presente estudo busca investigar a liberdade de expressão do empregado nas redes sociais, mormente o direito de crítica e sua repercussão no contrato de trabalho, especialmente quanto à imagem do empregador, pois não existe no ordenamento jurídico pátrio qualquer normativo que verse sobre essa complexa discussão. Para tanto, foi utilizado o método dedutivo e, em razão do incipiente debate no Brasil acerca do tema, o método comparativo, com verificação da questão na doutrina e jurisprudência estrangeira. Em razão da pluralidade de normas de diversas derivações, a pesquisa se estendeu por outras áreas das ciências jurídicas, como Direito Constitucional, Civil e Trabalhista, visando evidenciar a conexão entre a liberdade de expressão, o Estado Democrático de Direito, enquanto fórmula política de caráter finalístico, e a dignidade da pessoa humana, para assim concluir pela vinculação dos particulares às normas constitucionais definidoras de direitos e garantias e pela afirmação dos direitos inespecíficos trabalhistas no âmbito da empresa. Como o trabalhador, na sua especial situação de subordinação, está sujeito a uma série de deveres que supõem restrições ao exercício de sua liberdade de expressão, foram estudadas as fronteiras do direito de crítica, com aprofundamento nos deveres de boa-fé e, consequentemente, de lealdade e fidelidade. Em razão da ausência de primazia dos direitos à honra e à imagem sobre o direito de liberdade de expressão, porque são igualmente tutelados pelo texto constitucional, deduziu-se pela necessidade de aplicação do método de ponderação entre os princípios no caso concreto de colisão, com a preservação do núcleo essencial do princípio não prevalente, ainda que no âmbito das redes sociais. Logo, o exercício razoável, ou seja, sem abusos, sem a utilização de termos excessivos e insultuosos, do direito de crítica nas redes sociais é, em princípio, pleno, dada a importância da liberdade de expressão no Estado democrático. Tal direito, contudo, não protege os crimes de injúria, difamação e calúnia, nem as críticas tendentes a divulgar informações sobre a organização e os métodos de produção da empresa ou dados sigilosos

Le choix de compétences dans le contrat de travail international, permet une véritable valorisation du rôle de la volonté des parties dans l'insertion des clauses contractuelles désignant la compétence d'une loi ou d'un juge, étatique ou privé. Des conditions de fond et de forme sont exigées pour l'admissibilité de cette dérogation volontaire à la compétence naturelle des règles applicables. Mais, le déséquilibre qui caractérise la relation de travail, exige un encadrement stricte de ce choix par des mécanismes protecteurs de la partie faible. L'intervention des règles impératives du lieu de l'exécution habituelle du travail permet d'atteindre cet objectif par l'application, soit d'un critère de faveur qui consiste à appliquer la loi la plus favorable pour le salarié, soit à mettre en œuvre un critère de proximité qui permet d'appliquer la loi qui entretient les liens les plus étroits avec la situation litigieuse. / In international contracts of employment, the parties’ will is significantly enhanced by the choice of competences through the insertion of clauses referring to the competent law or competent judge (private or public). But the eligibility for this voluntary exemption to applicable natural competences requires formal and substantial conditions. Indeed, the disequilibrium that inherently characterizes the employment relationship calls for a strict scrutiny. Assuring the choice made by the weaker thus necessitates protective mechanisms. The intervention of mandatory rules of the place where the employee habitually carries out his work allows the achievement of the aforementioned objective. This is done so by the application of two alternative criteria, in either the law that is the most favourable law to his interests or the law that is most closely connected to the particular situation.
