Labor Law and Product Quality

Abstract

The Twenty-sixth Party Congress, continuing and developing the course laid down by the Twenty-fifth Congress, has included among the country's tasks for economic and social development that of raising significantly the quality of all kinds of products. Successful resolution of this problem requires, among other things, improving the legal impact on the entire complex of numerous and varied factors that determine the quality of production. As L. I. Brezhnev noted, the quality of production "is affected by literally everything: the adjustment of the lathe, the characteristics of the materials, the accuracy of the blueprint, and the precise organization of production. That is all true enough. But at the source of all these factors are those who actually do the work. Thus, in the final analysis, everything depends on conscientious people, on the quality of their work" [1]. Thus, the most important elements in the quality of production are related to the work activity of workers and office employees and, consequently, are subject to regulation with the aid of the norms of labor law, which fact in turn determines the leading role of law in ensuring the high quality of production.
