Labor rights
Labor rights
or
workers' rights
are a group of
legal rights
and claimed
human rights
having to do with
labor relations
between
workers
and their
employers
, usually obtained under
labor and employment law
. In general, these rights' debates have to do with negotiating workers' pay, benefits, and
safe working conditions
. One of the most central of these rights is the
right to unionize
. Unions take advantage of
collective bargaining
and
industrial action
to increase their members'
wages
and otherwise change their working situation. Labor rights can also take in the form of
worker's control
and
worker's self management
in which workers have a democratic voice in decision and policy making. The
labor movement
initially focused on this "right to unionize", but attention has shifted elsewhere.
