Employment law, which begins in 19th century, regulates relations between employers, employees and trade unions. The main purpose is about employment rights.
The 1978 Employment Protection Act is a summary for employees about their conditions of work and the main rights. They have the right to compensation for unfairly dismissal, the right to take their case to an industrial tribunal, if people complaining of discrimination. Women have the right to time off in order to have a baby.
European Community law gives better protection to employees than English law. Sometimes if employee lost his case at an industrial tribunal, European Court ruled that plaintiff – employee is right. EC law try to harmonize employment rights among member states: minimum wage problem, right to strike, Sunday trading in European Countries.
As compared with Japan, employees in this country have to work very long hours and they don’t ask for overtime payment. Also it’s unusual for Japanese workers to take legal action against their employers. But employees in Japan enjoy more security than employees in Western countries: once hired, they’re unlikely to be dismissed.
In conclusion the work in employment law is well on and, in my opinion, employees and employers can enjoy security because employment law regulates relations between them.
