labor rights
Fair workplace entitlements
Labor rights are legal protections and ethical claims workers have regarding their employment—fair wages, safe conditions, reasonable hours, freedom from discrimination, and the ability to organize collectively.
The labor rights movement emerged from industrial-era abuses and continues to evolve: The factory was cited for labor rights violations.
Debates persist over which protections should be guaranteed and how they apply to gig workers, migrants, and global supply chains.
