The Right to Fair Wages Between Justice and Flawed Legislation

Abstract

The paper deals with the relation between justice and Croatian legislation as seen through the prism of the fair wage concept. It aims at problematizing the interconnection between (social) justice as a principle and regulations as practice through their relationship to wages as the fruit of human labour. We make the connection between justice and wages (dynamic justice principle) and justice and legislation because, when it comes to workers and fair wages, we are being faced with legislation that is not as willing to fully preserve social equality as it is willing to preserve economic growth.
