Labour law (also known as labor law or employment law) mediates the relationship between workers,

employing entities, trade unions and the government. Collective labour law relates to the tripartite
relationship between employee, employer and union. Individual labour law concerns employees' rights at
work and through the contract for work. Employment standards are social norms (in some cases also
technical standards) for the minimum socially acceptable conditions under which employees or
contractors are allowed to work. Government agencies (such as the former US Employment Standards
Administration) enforce labour law (legislative, regulatory, or judicial).
