Abstract

The essay moves from the analysis of the «loi bien-être» of 1996, to be considered as a sort of best practice in terms of national implementation of dir. 89/391/Ecc, and of the concept of «stress» defined by the national collective agreement of 1999, which - differently from Who's - stresses the collective character of the phenomenon and envisages it as a possible cause of harassment. This leads the analysis to focusing on the notion of moral and sexual harassment, its components and its connection with discriminations.
