Please first enlighten us about you. I think what people want to know most is why you spell labor with a "u" and also, why you generally stink at writing. This is relevant because lawyers write.

To humor you, companies AND unions are hard to get into right out of law school. That said, nothing is impossible in life.

But really, no one in the US calls it "labour." Don't be afraid to be who you are.

I always spelled it labour.Well I am a kind of person that does things quite differently.It makes me feel unique.Jokes apart please suggest me if there is any scope for this particular idea.My friend also told me about some speacial ammendments made for labours and workers.I read about convention collective gratuite and that there are some fixed agreements between labour unions and companies.Do all countries have similar labour laws ?

Being unique in the legal profession might not be helpful when it comes to finding a job.

That aside, my previous post wasn't a joke.

That aside, I don't have a clue what you just said.

Resident labor lawyer here. It sounds like you are interested in labor and employment law, not just labor. For example, in-house counsel for companies have to deal with a whole host of labor and employment issues ranging anywhere from negotiating collective bargaining agreements to litigating before federal agencies such as OSHA/NLRB/EEOC etc. If you have any specific questions, ask away.
