Document Summary
Labour law: concerned with the rights of groups labourers/workers, rights to organize, strike, and picket; form unions, bargain collectively, etc. Employment law: concerned with individual relationship between employee and employer; employment standards (hours in a work day/week, time off, minimum wage, notice, severance) equality, non-discrimination, etc. From reading: sometimes its better just to fix the dock. Rebuilding from the ground up is not always easy either as pressures that led to its collapse could be transferred elsewhere. Reforming law and deck repair are similar; solving a small problem with a legislative amendment may just push the problem elsewhere; to decide on an improved statute or new statute, one must understand the forces in social change. A lawmaker must decide whether to fix the dock , redesign the dock or get rid of the dock altogether the central challenge of law reform is knowing which of these different responses are desirable.
