Employment laws are designed to:

• A. Prevent discrimination
• B. Promote health and safety
• C. Prevent work disruption due to disputes between labor and management
• D. All of the answers are correct

Answer: (D)

These laws aim to protect workers while keeping workplaces fair, safe, and orderly. They address discrimination by prohibiting unequal treatment in hiring, promotion, pay, and other terms based on protected characteristics like race, sex, religion, age, or disability. They promote health and safety through standards that require employers to provide safe conditions, proper training, and reporting of hazards. They also reduce work disruptions by guaranteeing workers’ rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining, while prohibiting unfair labor practices—creating a process for resolving disputes without resorting to strikes or other disruptions. Because employment laws encompass anti-discrimination protections, safety requirements, and mechanisms for resolving labor disputes, they cover all these aims, making all of the above the best choice.
