PREVENTION OF DISCRIMINATION IN THE LABOR FIELD: CURRENT ISSUES

Abstract

The article outlines the vision of new approaches in increasing the effectiveness of preventing discrimination in the field of labor. An analysis of national and international legislation on the principles of prevention of discrimination in the field of labor was carried out. The purpose of the article is a scientific-theoretical study of national and international legislation, scientific works and lawenforcement practice to justify new ways of increasing the effectiveness of preventing discrimination in the field of work. To implement constitutional guarantees, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring Equal Rights and Opportunities of Women and Men", the purpose of which is to achieve the parity of women and men in all spheres of life in society through the legal provision of equal rights and opportunities for women and men, the elimination of discrimination based on a sign of gender and the application of special temporary measures aimed at eliminating the imbalance between the opportunities of women and men to exercise equal rights granted to them by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine. Solving the problem of discrimination in the field of labor is one of the main tasks of any democratic state, the international community and other subjects, which requires joint efforts and the identification of common vectors in the direction of eradicating the phenomenon of discrimination. Inequality between women and men in exercising the right to work is closely interrelated with established gender stereotypes in society. After all, the established principles at the national and international level regarding the equality of men and women are not only declarative in nature, but acquire practical implementation in various spheres. Gender equality is a component of general equality and one of the foundations of a just democratic society. After all, the established principles at the national and international level regarding the equality of men and women are not only declarative in nature, but acquire practical implementation in various spheres. Gender equality is a component of general equality and one of the foundations of a just democratic society. However, when defining new vectors of development of modern society in overcoming discrimination, we come across the term "positive discrimination" more and more often. The article emphasizes that discrimination in labor relations, despite its normative prohibition at the national and international level, is becoming widespread in various forms. An analysis of the international practice of settling certain issues of discrimination in the labor sphere shows that trade unions play an important role in this matter. To achieve equality in the field of labor, trade unions organize their own internal trade union policy using collective bargaining and other tools aimed at ensuring fairness in pay and ensuring equal social rights for every employee. Positive international experience shows the importance of the role of trade unions in protecting employees from discrimination and deserves attention in national practice. According to the results of the study, the need to introduce changes to the norms of the current legislation is substantiated, with the aim of avoiding discriminatory manifestations on the part of the employer and minimizing the negative consequences of improper behavior of the subjects of labor relations.
