Labor & Employment

Labor & Employment

Labour laws govern the relationship between employers and employees, establishing rights and responsibilities for both parties. These laws cover a wide range of issues, including wages, working hours, workplace safety, employee benefits, anti-discrimination, and the right to organize / unionize and collectively bargain. Labor laws aim to create a fair and balanced employment environment, protecting workers' rights while also recognizing the needs of employers.
