This 1941 industrial award set the minimum pay and working conditions for women and young people working as cutters and trimmers in clothing factories across New South Wales. It established different pay rates based on age, experience, and whether workers were paid by the hour or by piecework. The award also covered working hours, breaks, and other employment conditions. This type of award was typical of Australia's industrial relations system at the time, where an independent tribunal would set legally binding minimum standards for specific industries and occupations.
