fair labor practices
Just workplace standards
Fair labor practices are employment standards that protect workers' rights and well-being—reasonable wages, safe conditions, limits on working hours, freedom from discrimination, and the right to organize.
The phrase often appears in legal and regulatory contexts: The company was cited for violating fair labor practices.
In consumer contexts, it signals ethical treatment of workers in supply chains: fair labor certified.
