Discrimination on disability grounds in labour relations

The article analyzes the state of the normative framework regulating the issues of employment of persons with disabilities, special attention is given to the provisions regulating the activity of the Federal body of medical and social assessment. On the basis of the analysis there are the following conclusions: the concept of «disability» contradicts the Russian Constitution and international law, the reason for this contradiction is the consideration of «disability» only from the medical point of view, social factors are overlooked; in the relationship between an employee, an employer and the Federal body of medical and social assessment there is a problem of the hermeneutic nature concerning the understanding of the specially created working conditions.
