It is important to distinguish between labor laws and employment laws, and how they are connected. Labor laws were enacted to provide rights for the collective actions of workers. Employment laws, on the other hand, were enacted to protect the rights of individuals. Labor laws and employment laws affect labor relations because they apply to both employers and unions.
In this discussion, analyze how labor unions have influenced existing employment laws, and how existing employment laws have influenced labor unions. Next, evaluate the need for labor unions in light of the protections that employment laws offer. Finally, assess current trends in the context of labor unions advocating for new rights for workers.
