Employment Law Summary

Employment law began in the 19th century and is regulating relations between employers,employees and trade unions. All employment rights are guaranteed by the Employment Protection Act. In the most of the countries it is guaranteed that the worker will get a minimum wage, that they won't be dismissed unfairly. All workers have the same rights,despite sex,race,nationality or religion.
Moreover, workers have the right to make the strike,when the majority votes for it. Although, during such a period workers lose their money, in the future they can get better working conditions and bigger payments.
Because of the differences in culture and traditions,in Japan employess do not have the same rights as in the European countries. Women have less rights and options, when it comes to the choosing of job. Despite these facts, Japanese are certain that they won't be dismissed unfairly and women almost always return to their working places after the pregnancy period.
