MORALES RAMIREZ, María Ascensión. An approach to harassment in the workplace from a comparative perspective. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2016, vol.49, n.147, pp.71-98. ISSN 2448-4873.

The abusive behavior that takes place in labor relations has gained the attention of researchers in several fields. However, since it is a phenomenon of work-related problematization and is becoming more frequent in the working world, international and national legal agencies have been analyzing the legal treatment of the causes and consequences of this. Therefore, it is fitting to identify the role of the law in such situations from the perspective of regulating it, as well as fighting against it. More particularly, the legal developments of recent decades need to be examined while its focus and scope should be established in the light of documents originated from the International Labour Organization, European Union and Latin America.

Keywords : Workplace harassment; legislation on harassment; legal treatment of workplace harassment.
