Governmental systems used laws, policies, and other systems of enforcement to control labor systems and those who participated in them. These included pro-slavery laws in the 1700s and the use of federal troops to quash strikes in the 1800s. In the twentieth century, labor union support helped enact government laws, policies, and processes that helped keep workers safe.
The effects of these laws, policies, and processes varied depending on the time period and specific measures taken. Pro-slavery laws supported and maintained oppressive labor systems and contributed to the suffering and exploitation of enslaved individuals. The use of federal troops to suppress strikes in the 1800s demonstrated a concerted effort by the government to maintain stability and protect the interests of industrialists and business owners. These actions often resulted in the suppression of workers' rights and the denial of their demands for better wages and improved working conditions.
However, in the twentieth century, labor union support helped bring about government laws, policies, and processes that aimed to protect workers and improve their standard of living. These included regulations on working hours, workplace safety standards, and wage protections. As a result, workers were afforded greater rights and protections, leading to improved working conditions and increased safety in the workplace.
Overall, governmental actions through laws, policies, and processes played a significant role in shaping labor systems and had both positive and negative effects on the lives and experiences of workers.
