labor rights – Wikipedia
Labor rights or workers’ rights are a group of legal rights and claimed human rights having to do with labor relations between workers and their employers, usually obtained under labor and employment law. In general, these rights’ debates have to do with negotiating workers’ pay, benefits, and safe working conditions. One of the most central of these rights is the right to unionize. Unions take advantage of collective bargaining and industrial action to increase their members’ wages and otherwise change their working situation. Labor rights can also take in the form of worker’s control and worker’s self management in which workers have a democratic voice in decision and policy making. The labor movement initially focused on this “right to unionize”, but attention has shifted elsewhere.

Minimum rights of employees » Employment New Zealand
All employees, full-time, part-time, permanent, fixed-term or casual, are entitled to a copy of their (individual or collective) employment agreement in writing. The employment agreement must have terms and conditions which are at least as good as the minimum rights in the law.
Minimum rights and responsibilities set out in law apply to all employees, even if:
they’re not in your employment agreement, or
your employment agreement tries to trade some off against each other, or
your employment agreement tries to make you get less than these minimums, or
you don’t have an employment agreement (although your employer is required to give you one).
