Medal of Labour

The Order of Labour (Serbo-Croatian: Orden rada, Орден рада, Slovene: Red dela, Macedonian: Орден на трудот) was a Yugoslav civil decoration awarded to both civilians and military personnel for outstanding work performance. It was established in May 1945, and had three classes. In 1961, the classes were renamed: Order of Labour with Red Banner (formerly 1st class), Order of Labour with Golden Wreath (formerly 2nd class) and Order of Labour with Silver Wreath (formerly 3rd class).

In 1998, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia adopted a new Law on Decorations that kept most of the decorations of the Socialist Yugoslavia, with some additions. The Order of Labour was retained, but now had only a single class.
