Eurofile - Your rights at work By Stefanos Evripidou
Under EU law, it is illegal to discriminate against workers on the grounds of gender, disability, race, ethnic origin, religion, and for the first time ever, age. When a worker’s rights have been violated, the worker is entitled to seek a legal remedy.
Now, something that should interest many bosses is that the EU has a specific law applying to women who suffered some sort of discrimination. The law makes it easier to get a remedy by shifting the burden of proof from the woman making the case to the employer. In layman’s terms, this means the woman alleging discrimination does not have to prove it. She simply announces the charge, and then it is up to the employer to prove that there was none.
