<P> Industrialization in Canada , as elsewhere , brought with it increasingly poor employment standards . Employers often took advantage of their workers by providing them with little to no health and safety elements in the workplace and no job security . When the workers formed unions , negotiations between the employer and union often dragged on or broke down completely . In these instances the unions would use techniques such as strikes and sabotage to impress on the employer the idea that the workers had rights as humans and even deserved respect . The unionism would then often build solidarity between workers , even in different industries . In response , the Canadian government established the Conciliation Act of 1900 . This act created the federal Department of Labour whose purpose was to help settle labour disputes and promote fair wages and proper conditions for workers . </P>
