Abstract

Pregnant, childbirth or breastfeeding employees are protected against dismissal under national and European Union law. Thus, EU legislation concerning maternity protection at work establishes the prohibition of dismissal of employees who are on maternity leave, maternity risk or on leave for raising and caring for the child. These provisions are included in Directive 92/85 / EEC on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health at work of pregnant workers and workers who have recently given birth or are breastfeeding; however, they do not apply in the case of dismissal for reasons arising from judicial reorganization, dissolution, collective redundancy or insolvency of the employer, under the law, or – in other words – reasons not related to the pregnancy of the worker.
