An example of a labor law is a restriction on when a union may call a strike. Labor laws are regulations that govern the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees in the workplace. They aim to protect workers and ensure fair treatment, wages, and working conditions.
United States labor law sets the rights and duties for employees, labor unions, and employers in the US. Labor law's basic aim is to remedy the "inequality of bargaining power" between employees and employers, especially employers "organized in the corporate or other forms of ownership association".
Many investigations are initiated by complaints, which are confidential. The name of the complainant, the nature of the complaint, and whether a complaint exists may not be disclosed.
Labor law topics include union membership, union dues, and collective bargaining agreements. Employment law covers a broader set of employment issues beyond labor union relations and collective bargaining. Employment law topics include hours, wages, overtime, hiring practices, workplace discrimination, and retaliation.
