Some Basic Labor Laws that Benefit Employees and EmployersAmelia Figueroa
Labor laws are important for employees as well as employers. Labor laws ensure safe workplace practices and an equitable relationship between employees and employers. There are certain basic labor laws that are in force in the United States and we'll discuss them briefly in this article.
The NLRB implemented new expedited election rules in 2015 that significantly shorten the timeline for union representation elections. The new rules reduce the period between a union petition and election from an average of 38 days to as few as 11 days. This accelerated process strongly benefits unions by limiting the time employers have to communicate with employees about why they should vote against unionization. The expedited rules encompass many procedural changes that give regional directors more discretion and make it harder for employers to litigate issues or seek review of pre-election rulings. Overall, the new rules pave the way for what are being called "ambush elections" that make it much more difficult for employers to respond to union organizing efforts.
LABOUR LAW AND HUMAN RESOURCES...Unfair labour practices and fundamental righ...cloudious nyikadzino
This document outlines the fundamental rights of employees and unfair labour practices by employers. It discusses employees' rights to join trade unions, protection against discrimination and forced labour, fair labour standards, and democracy in the workplace. The document also covers employers' obligations regarding wages, working hours, and prohibitions against obstructing employees' rights or discriminating based on attributes like gender, disability status, and pregnancy. Overall, the key rights established are freedom of association through trade unions and workers committees as well as protections against exploitation.
Employee relations encompass all aspects of managing people at work, including the relationship between employers and employees. This relationship is vital to an organization's performance and productivity. The human resources department ensures employee interests and welfare are considered to avoid strained relations. This helps provide guidance to employees and resolve issues like poor performance or misconduct. Labor laws also mediate the employee-employer relationship and protect employee rights and benefits like minimum wage, workplace safety, and workers' compensation. Sri Lanka's Department of Labor aims to promote industrial peace, social protection, rights at work, and productivity for a satisfied workforce.
The NLRB adopted new rules governing union representation procedures in a 3-2 party-line vote. The rules will likely result in union elections occurring between 10-21 days after a petition is filed, significantly shorter than the current 38-45 day timeframe. Proponents argue it streamlines the process, while critics argue it allows "ambush elections" with less time for employers to communicate. Non-union employers will need more proactive strategies to respond to potential short-term organizing efforts under the new rules.
There are two main laws that govern employment in Zambia - the Employment Act and the Industrial Labour Relations Act. The Employment Act covers employment relationships and terms while the Labour Act covers employer-employee relations, remuneration, and industrial relations. Discrimination is prohibited based on attributes such as race, sex, religion, and political views. The Factories Act provides for workplace safety and health standards that employers must implement. Collective bargaining and union representation are regulated by the Industrial and Labour Relations Act, which requires workplaces with over 25 employees to recognize unions.
The document discusses collective negotiation agreements (CNAs) between public sector unions and management in the Philippines. Some key points:
- CNAs are negotiated agreements on terms of employment not fixed by law, like benefits and working conditions. They are registered with the Civil Service Commission.
- The negotiation process involves both parties submitting proposals, meeting to discuss issues, and finalizing the CNA for ratification by union members.
- CNAs typically cover issues like leaves, transfers, allowances, grievance procedures, and ensure union rights. Items requiring funds are excluded.
- Registering the CNA bars challenges to the union's majority representation during its term, usually 3 years. Incent
