The goal of labor laws is to equalize the bargaining power between employers and employees. Legal Advisor role of our law firm in Italy (Milan, Bologna, Rome) in the typical transaction is giving guidance. The Italian laws primarily deal with the relationship between employers and unions. Labor laws grant employees the right to unionize, and allows employers and employees to engage in certain activities (e.g. strikes, picketing, seeking injunctions, lockouts) so as to have their demands fulfilled. Employment law is a broad area encompassing all areas of the employer/employee relationship except the negotiation process covered by labor law and collective bargaining.

Employment law consists of several state laws worldwide, administrative regulations, and judicial decisions (about, e.g., minimum wage regulations). Specific areas within the broad category of employment law covered under their own topical entries include:

• Collective Bargaining
  

• Employment Discrimination
  

• Unemployment Compensation
  

• Pensions
  

• Workplace Safety
  

• Worker's Compensation
