Understand how societies protect workers’ time and well‑being through holidays and limits on work.
This nonfiction work surveys theories and laws shaping labor protection, with a focus on weekly rest, Sunday observance, and protections for holidays. It traces proposals and practical regulations across countries and examines how enforcement and administration handle these rules in industry, trade, and transport.
The book explains the rationale behind limiting Sunday and holiday work, discusses different legislative approaches, and considers how such protections affect workers, employers, and family life. It also outlines how authorities supervise compliance and how statutory provisions evolve within a broader system of labor law.
- Key concepts of holiday protection and weekly rest for workers
- Historical and proposed laws, including various regional and imperial approaches
- How enforcement is organized and what issues arise in practice
- The goals of protection: religious observance, recreation, family life, and social ties
Ideal for readers of labor policy, legal history, and social reform who want a clear view of early efforts to balance work and leisure.
