Labor law consists of the body of laws, administrative rulings, and legal precedents addressing the employer and employee relationship, and that of labor organizations, often dealing with issues of public law. It is distinguished from employment law, which deals only with employment contracts and issues regarding employment, and workplace discrimination and other private law issues.

Labor laws exist to equalize the power between employers and employees. Dealing mostly with unionized employees and employers, Labor Laws grant employees the right to unionize. Labor laws also regulate employers’ and employees’ activities, such as strikes, picketing, injunctions, and lockouts. Workplace safety and health laws are geared to prevent personal injuries and illnesses from occurring in the workplace. The laws consist primarily of federal and state statutes, but the main statute protecting the health and safety of workers in the workplace is the Occupational and Safety Health Act.
