U.S. government regulation of employment  

Définition

  • Since the late 19th century, when U.S. labor markets were completely unregulated by federal legislation and only the common law provided loose guidance for courts, a complicated, multilayered patchwork of laws and regulations has been put in place, affecting employment relations in myriad ways. Even so, when compared with other developed nations, U.S. labor markets today are considered lightly regulated, known for weak support of trade unions and heavy reliance on market competition in setting labor standards.
