2.The concept, subject matter and features of labour law
Labour law is a branch of civil law which regulates the relationship between employees and employers and defines their rights and obligations in the workplace
The basic subject matter of labour law can be considered under nine broad heads: employment; individual employment relationships; wages and remuneration; conditions of work; health, safety, and welfare; social security; trade unions and industrial relations; the administration of labour law; and special provisions for particular occupational or other groups.
The basic feature of labour law in almost every country is that the rights and obligations of the worker and the employer are mediated through a contract of employment between the two. This has been the case since the collapse of feudalism. Many contract terms and conditions are covered by legislation or common law. In the U.S. for example, the majority of state laws allow for employment to be "at will", meaning the employer can terminate an employee from a position for any reason, so long as the reason is not explicitly prohibited
3. Main leading principles of labour law: concepts and classification
Public benefit
Protection from discrimination’
Labor laws generally protect employees from unlawful discrimination. This means that businesses cannot discriminate in hiring practices, promotions or firing of employees. Businesses also cannot discriminate based on race, ethnicity, sex, religion or nation of origin. These are called protected classes. Some states also protect against discrimination based on religion, sexual orientation and gender identification.
Equal protection of the laws
Compensation
The Fair Labor Standards Act is federal legislation that applies to most employees in the United States. This law says that employees must generally be paid a minimum wage (depending on the state in which they live). It also requires that employees who are employed on an hourly basis be paid overtime pay (time and a half) if they work more than 40 hours per week. These rules vary slightly by state and by industry. For example, servers in restaurants may be paid much less than the minimum hourly wage but are compensated through tips and service charges to make up the difference. Some states also have a minimum wage that is higher than the one set by the federal government.
Labour unions
The development of labor unions has changed the way that employees deal with their employers. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) of 1935 is federal legislation that requires businesses that hire members of unions to meet with union representatives to negotiate on wages, working hours, and workplace conditions.
4. Basic sources of labour law: general characteristics
The basic sources of labour law are federal and state constitutions(a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is governed), labour code (a codification of labor laws in legislative form.), legislation (is law which has been promulgated (or "enacted") by a legislature or other governing body, or the process of making it), administrative rules and court opinions.
