labor conditions
Work environment standards
Labor conditions are the circumstances under which people work—including wages, hours, safety, benefits, and treatment by employers.
The phrase typically appears in discussions of worker welfare or exploitation: The factory was shut down due to unsafe labor conditions.
Improving labor conditions has been central to union organizing and workplace regulation.
