Labor, Employment and Industrial Relations Acts

Statutes regulating the terms and conduct of work, including factory conditions, wages, hours and collective bargaining. Belongs here: the Factory Act 1833, the first British statute to impose enforceable limits on child labor and working hours with a paid inspectorate; and the National Labor Relations Act, guaranteeing United States private-sector employees the right to organize and bargain collectively. Does not belong here: a statute regulating workplace safety as part of a broader consumer or public-health scheme, grouped under environmental, health and consumer protection acts instead.
