Law of Work governs the workplace and the relationship between employees and employers.
Employment law focuses on individual rights, addressing issues like wages, discrimination, workplace safety, and wrongful termination.
Labour law deals with collective issues, including union rights, collective bargaining, and the resolution of labor disputes.
