Măsuri în prevenirea şi contracararea mobbing-ului la locul de muncă la nivelul uniunii europene

Abstract

Mobbing is a term used to describe a variety of behaviors in the workplace that amount to emotional abuse by workers of a fellow employee or employees. Mobbing takes place all over the EU. It has wide variations among Member States and economic sectors due to different awareness, cultures and legal systems but it is seen to be on the increase throughout all the European Union countries. Mobbing in Europe has been confronted in a wide variety of ways which are still subjected to constant changes. As a matter of fact, European Member States adopted different strategies to tackle the problem. Some countries passed specific legislation on mobbing.. Some others preferred to refer to the existing legislation, in some cases widening their scope, in some others just applying it to situations which only in their core characteristics could remind of mobbing. Other countries adopted non-legislative measures such as code of practices or code of conduct.
