Labor laws equalize the bargaining power between employers and employees and prohibit employers and unions from engaging in specified unfair labor practices. Labor laws mainly deal with relationships between employers and unions. Labor laws grant employees the right to unionize and allow employers and employees to engage in certain activities for the purpose of getting their demands fulfilled.

Employment law is a broad area that controls how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. Employment law includes all areas of the business relationship except negotiation and the collective bargaining process, which are covered by labor law.

Employment law encompasses a wide variety of issues like pension plans, retirement, occupational safety & health regulations, affirmative action, discrimination in the workplace and sexual harassment.
