abstract
The author engages in protection against discrimination in the labour law of Czech Republic. He makes distinction between positive and negative discrimination. Negative discrimination means such treatment with individual that is not acceptable in society because is based on inequality, denying of rights of individuals or particular groups and this different (unequal) treatment is not based on objective and reasonable grounds. In the labour law it is objective reason that insists in the nature of work. Positive discrimination means that different treatment with individual may seem as unequal but it has a different aim than negative treatment. The purpose of negative discrimination is to deny rights of certain individuals or groups based of discriminating grounds. The text concerns with discrimination prohibition in connection with last progress in this field, it makes an effort to cover basic concepts, it indicates context with evolution in the law of European Union and in national legal systems of selected European states. Author further engages in discrimination prohibition in access to employment in Czech republic, it means relations before employment contract conclusion and in protection against unequal treatment in employment. Attention is also paid to special service legal relations, especially public servants, self-government clerks, soldiers and members of security boards.
