3 TRIVIA ABOUT LABOR LAW
It began when man worked for another man.
Non-exploitative work: family, communal, hierarchal, voluntary, and contractual.
Exploitative work: SLAVERY. SERFDOM. CONTRACTUAL.
3 FACTS ABOUT EMPLOYMENT
Employment is a CONTRACT; but it’s a contract so impressed with public interest that it must yield to the common good.
OWNERSHIP of the enterprise and other resources makes the employment relations lopsided in favor of EMPLOYERS.
IGNORANCE of (Labor) Law isn’t an excuse.
3 FUNDAMENTALS OF LABOR LAW
Its ultimate purpose is to place employees at an EQUAL FOOTING with their employers. SOCIAL JUSTICE.
It’s all about minimum standards and basic requirements. (There’s no ceiling, only floor!)
In case of doubt, it’s to be interpreted in favor of employees (Article 4, Labor Code).

Entrepreneurs. Management.
