Industrial relations are the relationships between the management and employees of
an industry. Industrial Relations look at the relationship between management and
workers, particularly groups of workers represented by a union. Industrial relations
pertain to the study and practice of collective bargaining, trade unionism, and labor-
management relations.
Industrial relations laws are different in every nation but in general the purpose of
such law is to:
promote the welfare of the workers and economic prosperity of the nation
to provide a safety net of minimum wages and conditions of employment
to provide a framework for determining wages and conditions of pay
according to job roles performed,
providing a framework of rights and responsibilities for employers and
employees
ensuring freedom of association, including the rights of employees and
employers to join an organisation (e.g. a union), or not to join an organisation
that provides assistance to the worker.
ensure international obligations in relation to labour standards are met

The Federal Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) pays out monthly
benefits to retired people, to families whose wage earner has died, and to workers
unemployed due to sickness or accident. Workers qualify for its protection by having
been employed for a minimum amount of time and by having made contributions to
the program. An employer who fail to deduct the required employee's share of these
taxes makes that employer liable for the full amount. Once an individual has
qualified for protection, certain other family members are, as well. Financial need is
not a requirement
