About the course

Labor and employment law refers to the broad array of laws that govern the relationships between, and the rights and duties of, employers, employees and labor unions. Labor and Employment Law (LEL) comprises three domains of law and policy: legal doctrine concerning general aspects of the employer-employee relationship (e.g., employment at will, wrongful termination claims grounded in contract and tort law), specific statutory frameworks regulating the individual employment relationship (e.g., employment discrimination law, occupational safety & health law, workers? compensation, employee benefits law), and laws relating to labor unions and collective bargaining agreements (labor law).
