Introduction

The right to work as a separate branch of law, was developed relatively recently, with

the beginning of the nineteenth century, being separated from the civil rights. This

process of separation from civil law starts with state intervention in labor relations.

In these changes, in terms of strengthening state intervention in labor relations, had

organized pressures impact on improving employee and labor humanity. With the

introduction of trade unions in di erent countries like England in 1825, France 1864,

Germany 1900, Austria 1910, organized pressures strengthened the ruling structures

in order to improve working conditions and labor relations humanity, which until

then characterized by the severe exploitation and employees were at the mercy

ofemployers. In the beginning the requirements consisted in cu ing working hours

and the prohibition of child labor, which demands were being gradually expanded.

State, ispecially the ruling elite, to the stability of the social order and maintaining

power, was forced to intervene in labor relations issues and take defensive measures

regulating the straight andmore humane labor relations.In these circumstances,

government intervention in ma ers of employment is developed in two basic

stages: The fi rst phase of state intervention in labor relations ma ers has done at

the period of accumulation of capital, which has had intended to protect employers.

As the second phase of state intervention in ma ers of labor relations is done at the

period of the industrial revolution, where the relevant legislation has been directed

at the protection of workers from excessive exploitation.1In the period between the
