Lundy actively participated in the reform of labor law, bringing it in line with the principles of corporatism. However, he did a lot in terms of social orientation of the new labor standards. He paid special attention to the corporate and trade union organization of employees of institutions and the banking system. Lundy succeeded in lifting a pre-existing ban on union organizations for employees of state-owned banks.

In the early years of World War II, Lundy sought to freeze prices in the interests of low-paid workers, and dealt with food supply issues.
