The federal government supported employers during labor unrest primarily by denying legal recognition to unions, which limited their power in negotiations. This was evident in historical events like the Pullman Strike, where the government dispatched troops to break the strike, showing a clear preference for business interests over labor rights. Such actions significantly hindered the labor movement's progress in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
