The relevance of the study is due, on the one hand, to a high degree of discrimination in the sphere of labor, and on the other hand, to the extremely low interest in them from the state in general and the judicial system, in particular. The existing potential of modern labor legislation in the field of methods and forms of protecting the labor rights of citizens, which remains unrealized, is stated. Many provisions of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation are practically not applied to protect against discrimination in the sphere of labor, while cases of such discrimination are very common. In the structure of judicial statistics there are relevant cases, but as a rule, with decisions made not in favor of the employee or failed employee. It was recognized as inappropriate to use in the labor legislation the vagueness of the grounds for discrimination in such blanket provisions as “other circumstances not related to the business qualities of the employee”. Judicial bodies use the norm of Article 3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation extremely rarely due to its blanket nature. It is concluded that there are difficulties in implementing the mechanism of judicial protection of the rights of an employee from discrimination, including when hiring and, in this regard, creating a thematic review of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation with a list of circumstances that it is advisable for courts to study when resolving cases of discrimination.
