Get legal advice for labor law
Lawsuits filed against employers under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are up over 417% since 1997, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The difference between labor law & employment law
Employment laws regulate the relationship between an employer and individual employees and deal with issues like employment discrimination, harassment and making sure employees are paid for the work they have completed.
Labor laws regulate the relationship between employers and labor unions, such as the AFL-CIO. Labor laws cover topics like the right to unionize and the negotiation and enforcement of collective bargaining agreements.
Regardless of which laws apply to the situation with which you’re dealing, a small business plan from Legal Shield includes unlimited phone consultation with an experienced lawyer to help you understand your rights and determine the next steps you should take.
