This is an industrial award from 1948 made by the NSW Industrial Commission. It sets the minimum pay rates and working conditions for casing cleaners working at Riverstone Meat Company. Casing cleaners prepare animal intestines for use as sausage casings. The award was made under the Industrial Arbitration Act and published in the official NSW Industrial Gazette. Unlike a court judgment that explains why a decision was reached, this is essentially a regulatory document that establishes employment standards.
