The Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) is an independent, quasi-judicial tribunal mandated to mediate and adjudicate a variety of employment and labour relations-related matters under a number of Ontario Statutes.

This policy addresses the high percentage of people in the black population, people from black communities, who are unemployed. Private companies are more reluctant to hire black workers (institutionalized racism) than whites, and for the past 70 years, the unemployment rate for black people is more than

The Fair Labor Standard Act is also known as FLSA established in 1938. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed this bill to protect employees during the Great Depression (Perez, 2015). The sole purpose of this bill was to establish minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and Federal, State, and local governments (Bernardin & Russell, 2013). Before this act, there was no formal written law regarding standard minimum wage, overtime compensation, adequate timekeeping for hours worked as well as the proper age limit regarding the workforce personnel.

An attempt to minimize poverty for non-whites, but many people of color have remained in poverty for generations even though federal programs have been put in place to try and solve the poverty issue. In fact according to a 2011 US Census report, 26% of African-Americans still live in poverty, but that is down from the 55% reported in 1959. In the same report only 12% of whites lived in poverty in 2011. The government spends over 1 trillion a year on anti-poverty programs, yet hasn’t been able to end it. Some families for many generations have never known “middle-class prosperity”, because they don’t have access to the best schools, social resources, or career opportunities that so many other people take for

Those in favor of the at-will employment doctrine point out that it is only fair that if an employee can quit at any time, giving the employer the same freedom is only fair. While this may sound fair and logical, the reality is, different I believe it just gives an employer the ability to discriminate against employees. In 2012, New York’s court of appeals upheld the employment at-will case Sullivan v. Harnish. Chief Judge Lippman issued a dissent, expressing strong concern that giving employers the right to fire compliance officers for doing their job could lead to more financial scandals like the Madoff Ponzi scheme (Hamid, 2014).

Origins of employment law date back to the 14th century, with the first labour legislation, the Ordinance of Labourers, being passed in 1349. It maintained wages at rates to be fixed from time to time by justice of the peace. However, it is not really until the early 19th century that we see a significant increase in change in employment law, and an ever-increasing speed of change and innovation, giving more and more legal protection to workers.

Jobs with Justice (JwJ) is a coalition of 75 local labor, community, student, and religious groups organized to win concrete victories on the road to achieving economic justice and lasting social change. We engage working people in addressing the root causes of poverty, organizing support for workers treated unjustly and/or illegally in the workplace and in organizing an economic base that respects the dignity of the entire community. St. Louis JwJ is part of the Jobs with Justice national network, which was founded in 1987. Local Jobs with Justice coalitions are one of few contemporary examples of permanent multi-issue coalitions empowering those in need to create a community

Almost everyone who works in the UK is legally entitled to be paid the National Minimum Wage. This is the case even if an employer asks a worker to sign an employment contract at a lower rate of pay. It isn't necessary to be in full-time employment, or to work at an employer's premises. For example, you're entitled to receive the minimum wage if you're:

The National Labor Relations Act was enacted to correct the labor relations unrest in the United States in the mid 1930’s (Vogel, 1998). The NLRA protects a firm’s employees from unfair employment practices. The law secures the rights of employees to unionization and elect leadership to represent their interests to management (Cameron, 2009). If an employer is found to have unlawful terminated an employee, an organization can be compelled to reinstate the employment for the affected employee. The employment reinstatement often times includes back pay for lost wage for the time the employee was off work. The NLRA protects employee from employer retaliation when they are engaged in lawful union or organizing activities. When an employee is hired

Both these voluntary clauses identify in brief form the obligations that employers have under current legislation. They can often be helpful, particularly when used in conjunction with a clause outlining the obligations of employees, in establishing the commitment of both parties to a successful relationship.

The ACTU said the WorkChoices-era Australian Workplace Agreements (AWAs) “saw workers given no choice but to sign unfair agreements that removed their rights and conditions”, and the new proposed agreements were even worse.

After the abolition of slavery, the resentment which former slaves felt at their exploitation and the low wages plantation managers were prepared to pay, (which were below what a family could live on), turned the former plantation workers against work in agriculture. This refusal to continue to work on the plantations became, in an industrial relations context, the first "withdrawal of labour" or strike action. Eaton (2002) purports that the industrial relations response by the state, which was coeval with the mercantile class, co-operated in defeating the workers' protest action by

Many consider ads to be most influential type of rhetoric. City dwellers in the United States view nearly 5000 ads per day and these highly impact the processes of purchase, decision making, and even voting (Johnson). A well constructed ad has the ability to change laws. An example of an attempt to amend established legislature is The Employee Rights Act (“The Bill”). Through the uses of proper circulation in response to exigency, the built credentials, and form of the ad, viewers may be persuaded to vote in favor of the bill.

Employees are most important assets of an organization. They contribute to achieve the goals of the organization So the organizations must to focus the employer employee relationship in the organization.
