Employment and Labor Law

Analysis of Labour laws in the United States and eligibility of cross-cultural workforce.

The practice of law in the United States is informed by how different people conceptualize the relationships that exists between the law and the work environment. In the United States, it has been important to chronicle the struggle for the recognition of minority rights in the United States work environment. The importance of investigating the history of the country is to ensure that a strong foundation on the basis of particular law is created (Hagedorn, Paras, Greenwich &Hagopian, 2016). In this case, it is important to analyze the current regime of law that legislates on issues of labor and employment. This paper will be investigating the place of the law in labor relations (American Public Health Association, 2006). Most importantly, the topic discussion will involve the analysis of different laws that provide on various labor issues in the country. For instance, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) prescribes the standards of pay that employees are to receive while working. The Act applies to both public and private employment opportunities.

The Immigration and Nationality Act provides for situations where the employers have foreign nationals on the payroll. It provides for the provisions of the employer towards their foreign employees and the terms of service that they will be expected to operate in accordance to. On the second level, it is important to consider the provisions of the Civil Rights Act. The Act provides for equal treatment of the various races in the United States work space. Traditionally, African American and Hispanic populations have been unfairly disadvantaged by deed of policies favoring majority white workers. The analysis of Title VII will inform the concerns for the topic and how the laws can be harnessed to provide an equal working environment for all Americans.
