Labor legislation is an exercise of police power. The purpose of labor legislation is to regulate the relations between employers and employees respecting the terms and conditions of employment, either by providing for certain standards or for a legal framework within which better terms and conditions of work could be negotiated through collective bargaining. It is intended to correct the injustices inherent in employer-employee relationship.
