Labor Organization

An organization representing employees concerning employment conditions.

Definition

As defined in 19 Delaware Code § 1107A(d), a 'labor organization' is any organization of any kind, or any agency or employee representative committee or plan, in which employees participate and which exists for the purpose, in whole or in part, of dealing with employers concerning grievances, labor disputes, wages, rates of pay, hours of employment or conditions of work. This definition ensures that unions and similar employee representative bodies are also held accountable for discriminatory practices and cannot be complicit in perpetuating wage gaps.
