What is labor law
Labor law refers to the body of laws, regulations, and precedents that govern the relationship between employers, employees, trade unions, and the government in the workplace. These laws cover various aspects of employment, such as wages, working hours, safety standards, discrimination, employee benefits, and the rights and responsibilities of both employers and employees. Labor laws are designed to protect the rights and interests of workers while also providing a framework for employers to operate within. They help ensure fair treatment, safe working conditions, and equitable compensation for employees. Labor laws can vary significantly from one country to another, and they often evolve over time in response to changing economic, social, and political conditions.
