What was the impact of World War II (WW II) on labour laws?
As
a result of the Snider case
in 1925, in times of national emergency the responsibility for the
civil rights of employers and employees reverted to the federal
government. During the Second World War, the federal government
passed laws regulating industries associated with the war effort,
in fact covering most industries. The laws were consolidated into
the Wartime Labour Relations Regulations (1944), which
were also known as PC1003.
