Labour mutual aid (or benefit) society

These are worker associations providing benefits to their members. Contributions usually come from both workers and employers. The other items list in your text are of a similar nature (social security contributions and occupational accident insurance) What your text states is that the two parts have obligations to make payments in this regard, but if one part fails to do so, the other will not be responsible for the consequences.

From Wikipedia:
A benefit society or mutual aid society is an organization or voluntary association formed to provide mutual aid, benefit or insurance for relief from sundry difficulties. Such organizations may be formally organized with charters and established customs, or may arise ad hoc to meet unique needs of a particular time and place.

Benefit societies can be organized around a shared ethnic background, religion, occupation, geographical region or other basis. Benefits may include money or assistance for sickness, retirement, education, birth of a baby, funeral and medical expenses, unemployment. Often benefit societies provide a social or educational framework for members and their families to support each other and contribute to the wider community.

Examples of benefit societies include trade unions, friendly societies, credit unions, self-help groups, landsmanshaftn, Fraternal organizations such as Freemasons and Oddfellows and many others. Peter Kropotkin posited early in the 20th century that mutual aid affiliations predate human culture and are as much a factor in evolution as is survival of the fittest.

employer-provide insurance

I think it's referring to "mutual" in the sense of mutual insurance, talking about the employer's obligation to fund social security, insurance (probably health), and workman's comp insurance: the

"mutualismo: Not a lot of context, but I need a Mexican answer to this. In the River Plate it is a form of HMO-health insurance."

/1183604-mutualismo.html

(from a UN treaty between Spain and Switzerland)
"The provisions of this Convention shall apply, ... in Spain, to...
1. The legislation concerning compulsory old-age and invalidity insurance,
including the special schemes;
2. The legislation concerning compulsory insurance against industrial ac
cidents;
3. The legislation concerning insurance against occupational diseases;
4. The workers' mutual benefit scheme (mutualismo laboral)

Note that I'm suggesting group health insurance because most historical mutual aid societies have evolved from offering a wide array of mutual social benefits, to more-or-less modern insurance companies.

See also this document, if you're interested--I can't extract any relevant quotes, but it gives an overview of the history of employer-provided workplace accident and other types of insurance in Spain.
