It is safe to say that ‘work’ is something very familiar, rather, inevitable for most of us. Employed workers (=employees) take the biggest share in the number of workers and the basic knowledge of the Labor Law is very useful not only for workers, but also for employers. Furthermore, for employers, that knowledge is indispensable in order not to violate regulations; even for workers, it is best for them to know the Labor Law well, considering the serious social problems brought by the ‘exploitative enterprises’.
In this course, students firstly overview the basics of the Labor Law as well as the rights of workers and the duties of employees. The goal for students is to obtain the abilities to handle concrete labour issues with the knowledge of the Labour Law, considering the both standpoints of workers and employees.
