NOTES FROM EDWIN E. WITTE’S COURSE ON GOVERNMENT AND LABOR, ECONOMICS 249, FALL 1955

Abstract

The criterion differentiating “protective labor legislation” and “industrial relations legislation” is not whether they are for or against the interest of labor. The interest is that of the general public, as is the case with all legislation. The basic difference concerns the parties to two types of labor contracts. Protective labor legislation concerns the individual contract and labor relations legislation concerns the contract between the specific groups in the field.
