LABOUR LAW
Mediates the relationship between workers (employees),
employers, trade unions and the government. Collective
labour law relates to the tripartite relationship between
employee, employer and union. Individual labour law
concerns employees' rights at work and through the
contract for work. Employment standards are social norms
(in some cases also technical standards) for the minimum
socially acceptable conditions under which employees or
contractors are allowed to work
HISTORY
Labour law arose in parallel with the Industrial Revolution
as the relationship between worker and employer changed
from small-scale production studios to large-scale factories.
As England was the first country to industrialize, it was also
the first to face consequences of capitalistic exploitation in
a totally unregulated economic framework.
INTERNATIONAL
LABOUR LAW
The labour movement has long been concerned that economic globalization would
weaken worker bargaining power, as their employers could hire workers abroad to
avoid domestic labour standards.
Karl Marx said:
“The extension of the principle of free trade, which induces between nations such a
competition that the interest of the workman is liable to be lost sight of and
sacrificed in the fierce international race between capitalists, demands that such
organizations [unions] should be still further extended and made international”.
