Abstract

Throughout this dissertation, we will search to investigate in what terms may companies interfere with the romantic relationships stablished between two employees, under the first’s authority and direction. In a world strongly marked by the globalization, as a result of the proliferation of new ICT and a constant technological evolution, romantic relationships in a labour context – although they have always existed – consist in a frequent worldwide phenomenon and raise some issues which require an answer, since they have a potential impact between the fundamental rights, from one point of view, of the employee, and, from another point of view, of the employer. In a multidisciplinary perspective – an intrinsic characteristic of law -, in which there occurs a crossing of labour law and fundamental rights’ themes, this dissertation aims to analyse some existing rules in different legal systems – some of them with more suitable legal solutions than others –, in order to understand how shall this question be correctly and efficiently regulated, so that is possible to articulate the companies’ powers with their employees’ fundamental rights, which include their fundamental right to privacy.
