Title
Report upon the Sweating System in Canada
Abstract
The Trades and Labour Congress petitioned the federal government to investigate the sweatshop system in Canada in 1896. Commissioner Alexander Whyte Wright inspected factories, workshops, and private homes in Halifax, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Hamilton. He reported that appalling conditions and paltry wages were the rule in the factories and shops, but that workers toiled even longer, earned less, and suffered more in their own homes.
