Labor law covers the relationship between groups of employees, organized as unions, and employers. Union representation allows employees to bargain with employers for rights and benefits collectively. While labor laws grant employees the right to unionize and to engage in activities such as picketing and striking, they also allow employers to defend themselves by seeking injunctions or creating a lockout.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) hears disputes between employers and unionized employees.
