The State shall regulate the relations between workers and employers, recognizing the

right of labor to its just share in the fruits of production and the right of enterprises to
reasonable returns to investments, and to expansion and growth.

 Social Justice- Aim and reason of labor laws

- it is neither despotism or communism nor atomism, nor anarchy but HUMANIZATION

of laws and EQUALIZATION of social and economic forces by the State. (Calalang vs.

Williams)

It connotes equality under the law and attainment of a decent quality of life by the
people through humane productive work.

“Salus papuli est suprema lex”- means that the health (welfare, good, salvation,felicity)
of the people should be the supreme law.
