CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Labour and Labour Legislation |
 | | Labour is work done by mind or body either partly or wholly for the purpose of producing utilities. |
| | Their labour it was that built the Pyramids, the public works at Lake Moeris, and the Labyrinth; there, too, they were exploited to the limit of physical endurance, just as were the Hebrews by the Egyptian taskmasters of a later period. |
| | Legislation pertaining to labour during the three centuries immediately preceding the Reformation was mostly enacted by the towns, the feudal lords, and the guilds. |
