Labor Relations Law in the Balance

Abstract

    The Libyan legislator has issued four laws regulating work since the birth of the Libyan state until 2010, most of which were called the Labor Law, except for the latest, No. 12/2010, which was given a different name, “Labor Relations Law.” The researcher is trying to put this law in the balance of analysis, to know the secret behind its name, and whether it has a relationship with the forced merger between the Labor Law and other laws, but his analysis justifies the approach of its texts, and the researcher asked whether it was free from errors in the formulation?

     The researcher concluded that this law combined three types of work, with no objective link between them, and it also neglected to organize issues that no labor law neglected, including the repealed Libyan Labor Law No. 58/1970, such as wages and collective labor contracts, and even the issues it organized suffer from errors and shortcomings in their formulation. The researcher recommended the necessity of issuing a new labor law that is consistent with international labor standards and is based on the previous Libyan legislative experience.
