Abstract
The development of labor legislation in the Western world is characterized by the protection of the workers’ material, cultural and moral interest. It secures for them fair compensation, rest and leisure, sanitary and safety conditions at the plants, the right to organize trade unions and to struggle for better labor conditions with the support of collective bargaining and strikes. Such progressive development although greatly stimulated by the activity of the trade unions, is partly the result of the state’s legislative initiative in the interests of social order, justice and the prosperity of the working people.
