Employment law

Firstly, I'd like to say that the history of employment law begins with the industrialization of Western countries in the 19th century. Before industrialization most people worked on the land in some craft connected with agroculture. Many employees were in a very weak position because part of their wages was paid in the form of food and accomodation. Now employees have written statement of the employment contract. Besides, employees also have the right to compensation if they are dismissed unfairly or made redundant. Germany and other countries developed systems of insurance to protect workers during sickness, unemployment and retirement. The right to strike was one of the first employment rights to be recognized by law. Actually, many countries have passed laws to ensure that men and women are given equal opportunities to do the same work in the same conditions. However these laws are often broken. So, in conclusion, I'd like to say that it is really important to make efforts to reduce sexual discrimination in job.
