United States labor law

U.S. labor law sets rules to protect workers' rights and ensure fair treatment at work. It covers issues like minimum wage, working hours, safe working conditions, and freedom from discrimination or unfair treatment. Laws like the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission establish these protections. Employers must follow these laws, and workers can seek recourse if their rights are violated. The goal is to create a fair, safe, and equitable workplace environment for all employees.
