United States labor law

United States labor law is a set of laws that help make sure workers are treated fairly in the workplace. It sets rules about things like how much people should be paid, when people can take a break, and how many hours people can work in a day. It also protects workers from discrimination based on things like race, sex, or age. Labor law also helps make sure that workers are safe and that their workplace is a healthy environment. If workers feel mistreated or unsafe, they can use labor law to fight for their rights.
