Why legislation is important in upholding and protecting the rights of both employer and employee?

This is what makes labor unions and collective bargaining a "necessary evil".  I have been a lifelong union member and I can assure you, without them, we'd all be working for $.50 per hour.

you have to protect yourself first... but then your employers interest..comes next. you can do both actually unless the employer turns against you. if you look good your boss looks good..and vice versa.  but if the boss is negligent,,and you are jeapardized you have to worry about self.

STATE LAW WOULD PREVAIL UNLESS IT IS COVERED UNDER FEDERAL LAW. FEDERAL LAW COVERS MILITARY REASSIGNMENTS FOR INSTANCE\nAND THE STATE LAW CAN ADD FURTHER REQUIREMENTS.  YOUR EMPLOYER WILL TELL YOU WHAT LAWS APPLY FOR SURE.

Basically, they just concern different things. It sets up the system of the government, the governor, legislature, etc. and also contains a lot of general laws, for instance regarding marriage, eminent domain, and such. As for the rights guranteed in the constitution, Georgia's is generally more protective, but its bill of rights really covers the same ground as the federal bill of rights.

This is an Act of Parliment enacted by Her Majesty the Queen of England which consolidates all laws relating to employment rights. \n\nThis Act includes the following rights:\n\n    * The right not to be unfairly dismissed. A dismissal is automatically unfair if it is for a reason related to pregnancy, childbirth, maternity leave, parental leave, or time off for dependants.\n    * The right to maternity leave.\n    * The right to paid time off for ante-natal care.\n    * The right to unpaid time off to care for or to arrange care for dependants where the dependant is ill, injured, assaulted, gives birth or dies; if arrangements for the care of a dependant break down; or if there is an unexpected incident involving a child at school.\n    * The right to be offered suitable alternative work on not substantially less favourable terms and conditions if a legislative requirement or a health and safety recommendation prohibits a woman from doing her usual job because she is pregnant, has recently given birth or is breastfeeding.\n    * The right to be suspended on full pay if a woman is unable to do her usual job on maternity grounds as described above and no suitable alternative work is available.\n    * The right to a statement of employment particulars.\n    * The right to an itemised pay statement.\n    * The right not to suffer unauthorised deductions from wages.\n    * The right to a minimum period of notice on termination of employment.\n    * The right to a redundancy payment.\n    * The right to a written statement of reasons for dismissal.\n\nThe entire act (long) is available at: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1996/1996018.htm

No, because where I live you can be fired for ANY reason or NO REASON AT ALL. Consider that I've also seen racially motivated firings where the people who lost their jobs had no rights or protection at all. Also in my state the labor board will only enforce minimum wage without a contract. I've seen people put in a two week notice at a job only to have their last paycheck dropped to minimum wage out of revenge for them leaving. These laws favor corporations, not workers rights at all. I see nothing fair about that. To change these laws in our favor I'd be willing to see a law mandating giving at least a weeks notice before quitting a job. And the employer has to accept it, not tell you just to hit the door because you put in a notice.

you could talk about the progression of employee rights in the work place and reference the beginning of workers unions.  Or you could compare the rights of entry level positions to the rights of those in corporate or more professional postions.

You will need to consult with the labor & employee laws for your state and/or city.

It allows employers access to those with a wonderful work ethic and affords the worker's peace of mind while living and working openly and legally.

the 9th amendment protects ALL other rights that aren't mentioned in the Bill of Rights. the people of the US aren't limited to JUST those rights, and all their other rights must be upheld in the court of law\n\nthat article explains it very well!

It can be against employee laws but if it pays more why not?

The State legislature set limits on all laws that the Federal Government has no right, Constitutionally speaking, to pass.  Since ALL the states are different you get differing laws in all things.  Discrimination is just one of many areas.

Absolutely.  Employers can do pretty much what ever they want as long as it doesn't violate a contract agreement, local, state, or federal law (like discrimination), or in the case of union employees, their collective bargaining agreement.

Union...so that every employee regardless of rank will be listened to. they will have a voice and they will be well represented.

I think the illegal immigration bill has nothing to do with legal workers. Here it states:\nLabor certification: the process an employer must go through with the Department of Labor to certify that no American workers are available to fill the job for which the employer is sponsoring a foreign national for legal permanent residence.\n(B) the employment of the alien in such labor or services will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of workers in the United States similarly employed. \n\nThe Immigration Bill is more about enforcing current laws, protecting the borders better and  what should be done with the present illegals in the country.
