L’EXPRESSION DES CONVICTIONS RELIGIEUSES DANS LES RELATIONS DE TRAVAIL

This article explores the way in which Belgian law deals with situations where labour law engages with the right to freedom of religion and belief and the right not to be discriminated on grounds of religion. It starts with the Belgian regime of religious freedom, protection against discrimination and valid reasons for termination of employment. It then considers specific areas of those regimes in Belgian labour relations, such as the work schedule accommodation, the refusal to perform work, clothing and religious symbols in the workplace, and the work in an ethos organization. It relates mainly to Belgian case law but also to the case law of the European courts.
