Labor Law: Protecting the Rights of Employees

There are times when employees experience their rights being violated, maybe because of their position, thinking that they may be fired for fighting for their rights.

On the other hand, there are some who take advantage of such employees. They may think that they can do anything, including violating the rights of others. However, such acts wouldn’t be tolerated by the law, even if they think such actions are petty.

Just like the case of Chou v. Starbucks mentioned in “Starbucks Ordered to Pay Back Tips .” The judge ruled that the company has violated a law when it permitted its supervisors to share in the earnings of the tip jar of the baristas. For some, it may not be a major case, but it still a violation of the labor law.

Whatever rights we have, no matter how big or small it is, it should be protected.
