jan 1, 1959 - The Wards Employment Regulations

Description:

The Wards Employment Regulations set out a scale of wages, rations and conditions applicable to wards employed in various industries. The ward rates are up to 50 per cent lower than those of non-Aboriginal people employed in similar occupations and some companies even refuse to pay their Aboriginal labourers anything. Vestey Brothers refuse to pay their Aboriginal workers' wages.
