Covid-19, Vaccination and Labour Discrimination

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide a first approach to the possible discriminatory nature of the employer's decisions motivated by the refusal of the employee to be vaccinated against COVID (or by the decision of being vaccinated, even if those situations are rare). This is a sensible issue, because Labour Law does not usually provide a straightforward answer and fundamental rights are at stake (health, privacy, equality and non-discrimination and even the right to protection of personal data).
