AFIRMATIVNA AKCIJA U ZAPOŠLJAVANJU I NAPREDOVANJU U PRAVU EVROPSKE UNIJE
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN EMPLOYMENT AND PROMOTION IN EUROPEAN UNION LAW

Summary/Abstract: One of the ways to achieve substantive equality as a constant aspiration of every society is the use of affirmative action. In the field of work, affirmative action gives priority to a certain category of workers during employment and promotion, because due to various social factors, they have been in an unequal position compared to the rest of the population for many years. In the paper, the author, through the analysis of the practice of the European Court of Justice, and primary and secondary European Union law, draws attention to several possible modalities of the use of affirmative action. This approach, together with a review of relevant theoretical viewpoints on the legitimacy of affirmative action, allows us to determine the limit of equality, the limit after which the use of affirmative action loses its initial purpose for which it is applied and begins to work in the opposite direction.
