Applying the prohibition of discrimination in employment relations. Abstract This thesis is about discrimination in employment relations. The objective of the text is to concentrate on applying the prohibition of discrimination in fields, where disparate treatment is most common, on the legal means of protection against employment discrimination and on the activities of public institutions, which have been entrusted with supervision over compliance with the principle of equal treatment. The thesis is divided into introduction, five separate sections, which are further divided into chapters, and conclusion. The first two sections are rather theoretical, containing definitions of basic terms, important for overall understanding of the thesis (such as equality, discrimination, harassment and others) and introduction of the EU and Czech Republic anti- discrimination law in employment relations. In the third section I focus more closely to employment relations, where the problem of discrimination is widespread, or where it is highly undesirable. In individual chapters of this section applying for a job (including advertisements), remuneration or termination of employment are examined. The next section concerns the discrimination victim's right to claim before the court that the discrimination be refrained from,...

The issues of discrimination at the labour market are discussed frequently and according to the available sources of information these issues are not overlooked. When you imagine all manners of discrimination at the labour market, the most frequent manner is gender discrimination. It means that women are the most discriminated group. In this thesis I had focused on: the issue of women discrimination on the labour market and the topic of women versus men in the workplace. The society tells us the way how men and women have to look like and how they should behave according to their gender. Every person can observe these patterns since their childhood. The gender is formed by the external influences. The topic of gender discrimination belongs to sociology, however, there is a management sector which deals with the influence of gender inside the company ? it is called the management of gender relations. This is the theme which comes close to the women discrimination and to equal opportunities for men and women in the organization of the company. If the company is interested in establishing equal opportunities at the labour market, it is necessary to see women and men as two different parts of the company. It is impossible to replace the two parts with each other, because both of them have their tasks and the first part cannot work without the second part. The two parts are complementing each other in the family life and in the career life as well. The European Union has one of the most advanced antidiscrimination law in the world. The principle of equal opportunities of men and women is a part of the entrance conditions that have to be fulfilled by all member states and the candidate countries which want to enter the European Union. In the Czech legislative we can find the provision of equal treatment in The Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. Another important document is the Labour Code and last but not least is the Antidiscrimination Act. For employers it is necessary to claim equal opportunities for women and men if they want to be popular in the society of the 21st century. The whole society has to take a part in solving this global problem and then the situation at the labour market might become better. Equal opportunities are an important value and it is the sign of a fair company which is based on democracy. That is why the equalization of the relationships between men and women should be the significant aim of companies.
