In exchange for forbidding strikes, did Napoleon guarantee high wages?

score:3

The referenced page which states that Napoleon required a guarantee from employers that workers wages would remain high. It merely says that "[Napoleon's] police sometimes prevented employers from lowering wages as part of a carefully calculated balancing act".

Also, it can be imagined that wars caused a labor shortage which raised wages.
