Wanda Thibodeaux for the Houston Chronicle notes the importance of laws in the workplace. Workplace laws safeguard employees against abuse and discrimination by employers. Employees are also given a safe place to work and just compensation. Laws also secure an employer's chances of making a profit and staying competitive.
