Abstract
This paper seeks first of all to state what the law regulating workers' lives is, the origin of this law, and its socio-political significance. Secondly, since the paper is meant to be a source for workers' education we shall delve into the various characteristics of law namely the instrumentalist, ideological and political characteristics in order to demystify it so that workers and their leaders may conceptualise this law in its proper perspective rather than as the state, employers or their unions usually portray it to be. Thirdly it is hoped that this paper, as part of the CBR Project on Workers' Education as a whole, may be utilised by workers and their leaders in the struggle to protect and advance their rights as workers.
