Resumen de Protection against discrimination in employment under italian law
Under Italian law, anti-discrimination provisions make up a regulatory system that now aims to fully represent an autonomous branch of law, specifically covering employment and working conditions. It is in the field of employment law that the matter under consideration is able to obtain, perhaps "unintentionally", the recognition it has sought for some time, especially since it was established as a system of guidance rules on substantially autonomous employers’ powers (and therefore marked by an unavoidable underlying weakness) and the matter began to creep into areas no longer occupied by binding legislation, the latter increasingly confined and called into question with the advent of the ‘era of flexibility’.
