| | The Labor Party |
 | | Labor maintains that government must act with social responsibility, recognizing that the provision of education, health and other social services, cannot be guaranteed by the market place. | | | The Labor Party (Mifleget ha-Avodah ha-Yisraelit/Maarach) was established in 1968 with the joining of Mapai, Ahdut Ha’avodah and Labor Rafi. | | | Since 1977, Labor leaders Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres and Ehud Barak have served as Prime Ministers. |

| | Trade union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Unions for public sector workers are governed by labor laws and labor boards in each of the 50 states; in many states, typically those in the north, these laws and boards are modeled after the NLRA and the NLRB. | | | Unions of workers in the private sector are tightly regulated and overseen by the United States Department of Labor under the authority of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), passed in 1935, which is Administered by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). | | | The Harvard Trade Union Program is now currently part of a broader initiative at Harvard Law School called the Labor and Worklife Program that deals with a wide variety of labor and employment issues from union pension investment funds to the effects of nanotechnology on labor markets and the workplace. |

| | Australian Labor Party: Kim Beazley's Blueprint for Australia |
| | Labor has consistently advocated the need for health reform to fix the waste and inefficiency caused by the current division of funding between the Commonwealth and the States. | | | Labor will continue to hold the Government to account on its promises on the so-called Medicare Safety Net - a policy which is financially unsustainable, inequitable and open to abuse. | | | Labor believes in an orderly immigration system, a system based on the rule of law, a system of integrity which the Australian people will have confidence and trust in. |

| | Because of the labor movement in the 1930s and 1940s, we won just enough against corporations to create a pretty decent health care system for most workers and their families. | | | When union advocates demand that labor rights be included in trade agreements with other countries, the typical response is that it's unfair to impose rich countries' standards on poor countries. | | | Unless binding commitments to respect labor rights are included in the agreement, with enforcement mechanisms included where workers, not just governments, can bring a case for decision. |
