This is a 1916 industrial award made by the New South Wales Industrial Court for bakers in the Cumberland district. It sets the rules for employment in bakeries, including: a 48-hour standard working week; overtime pay at time-and-a-half; minimum wages for different types of workers (qualified bakers, apprentices, drivers, shop assistants); meal breaks; and annual holidays. The award was made under the Industrial Arbitration Act 1912 to establish fair working conditions and prevent industrial disputes in the baking industry.
