Schutz vor willkürlichen und diskriminierenden Entlassungen

Protection against dismissal is one of the main topics which repeatedly sparks discussions in politics and academia. Whereas on the one hand many people advocate maintaining the current protection against dismissals, there is on the other hand a discussion in Germany about relaxing or even abolishing this protection. There are similar controversial discussions pertaining to the anti-discrimination law. Based on comparative law, Michael Schreier studies the conflicting approaches, focusing on the protection against arbitrary and discriminatory dismissals. The author shows the differences and similarities between Canada, using British Columbia as an example, and Germany and, based on this, provides recommendations for the law pertaining to the protection against dismissal and the general anti-discrimination law for German lawmakers.
