An Act to Protect the Workers of the State of Creeperopolis (Creeperian: Una Ley para'Proteger a los'Trabajadores del Estado de Creeperópolis) was a law passed on 7 February 1928 by the Parliament of Creeperopolis which institution basic labor laws and regulations in Creeperopolis.

The act protected workers from being treated inhumanely by corporations, most notably, the National Coffee and Sugar Corporation (CORNACA). The bill mandated that all companies pay workers a minimum wage of 2 pesos per hour, extremely high for the time, as workers then could expect to receive 1 peso per day. The bill also mandated that all companies give workers at least 2 weeks of paid vacation time, a new idea for the time in Creeperopolis. Companies were also banned from using corporal punishment on workers and withholding pay for disciplinary issues and had to document a valid reason for a termination of an employment.

The law was repealed and voided on 7 February 1928 after Prime Minister Édgar Cazalla Beldad was assassinated and Antonio Sáenz Heredia declared himself as prime minister, voiding the bill as a part of the Crisis of 1928.
