Special Interest Provisions in Labor Relations

There are some labor laws that are specifically fashion out to take care of the need of some interest groups in the society in order to provide the necessary conditions needed that are not compatible with the generalized stipulations set out in the general labor law posters applicable to all sectors of the employment market.

Among the sectors of the employment market that have separate specified labor laws and their accompanying labor laws posters addressing pertinent issues that are separated from the mainstream general labor laws provisions are the agricultural employment criteria and conditions attached to it, the child/youth employment procedure, and veterans of armed services employment schemes.

Going by the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers Act labor laws posters, one can see that the minimum wage rate and other conditions of employment of this category of workers are quite different from the norms obtainable by the wide spectrum of workers due to the fact of the nature of the work of these migrant and seasonal employees. Apart from the wage rate that is special and posted for the benefit of such workers reroute on whatever form of transportation bringing them to the worksite, there are many other stipulations in respective labor laws posters on the issues of housing, discrimination, and safety standards as it affect the migrant and seasonal agricultural workers according to the Act.

The Armed Forces Employment and Reemployment Act is another labor law and it attendant labor laws  poster that ensure that separate conditions are set for the meeting of the special interest of safeguarding the jobs of those that may have left their jobs in order to serve for some time in the armed forces. The act also guarantees to some extent the reservation of some employment for those that came out serving their country in the military.

There also Child Labor laws and provisions, with different child labor laws posters to protect the interest of youth that are engage in employment, especially farming, in order to ensure their been educated as at when due, as well as not engaging in dangerous and hazardous work.

Most states also have their own special interest labor laws and state labor law posters, like the New York labor law poster on child labor.

By virtue of the specific labor laws and posters devoted to some of these sectors of the employment market, it can be seen that there is a need for separate labor laws and labor laws posters for them outside the general provisions that cover the relationships of the employers and employees.
