It is a matter of for whom is easier to organize. Capital can organize pretty easily, you may need only half a dozen companies to change a full labor market. But, you will need thousands or tens of thousands of individuals to achieve the same on the labor side.
So, you need laws to protect labor if they have to have any chance to organize themselves, or even to promote and finance such activities. Weak or non-existent labor laws creates a power imbalance in favor of capital. So, you only hear their side of the discussion.
