Summary/Abstract: Discrimination in the workplace is a hot topic among employees and employers. Discrimination in the workplace refers to the prohibition of certain persons to apply and receive certain jobs based on race, age , sex , religion , height , weight , nationality , disability , sexual orientation or gender identity. However, today in our society the absolute norm is to hire any qualified person. The study conducted by the National Council for Combating Discrimination in 2009, highlights that 51% of Romanian consider the discrimination as one of the current problems and that discrimination is a fairly common phenomenon in the labor market. This paper aims to address the importance of workplace discrimination, its manifestations, legal ways to reduce the level of discrimination and also to identify measures that can be taken by hired persons in order to protect themselves. This paper represents an exploratory research based on qualitative methods, various sources of information being consulted: literature, case studies, media articles, reports, etc.
