Workers' Welfare
This article investigates the historical dimensions of the labour movement's relationship to the welfare state in Australia and Canada during the 20th century.

Minimum wage boards issued separate wage orders for each industry, after consultation with representative employers and employees. The standard for the minimum wage was decent subsistence for a single woman with no …
