Labour law was introduced for fulfilling the demands of workers for better working conditions, and the simultaneous demands of employers for restricting the powers of workers so as to keep the labour costs low. The costs of employers increase when workers organize for winning higher wages or due to the costly requirements imposed by the law like provisions of health and safety or conditions of equal opportunities.
