Excerpt from Compendium of Living Wage Declarations and Reports: Made by the New South Wales Board of Trade
Prior to the creation of the Board of Trade the fixation of minimum wages for different industries was entrusted to Wages Boards, subject to an appellate supervision of the Court of Industrial Arbitration. These various tribunals, although guided to some extent by declarations of the Court, adopted different principles in arriving at decisions, and frequently fixed wages on the basis of agreements arrived at between parties appearing before them. The Amending Industrial Arbitration Act of 1918, was intended to provide one tribunal which should fix a basic wage applicable to all industries, after investigation of variations in the cost of living. A reprint of all the Boards decisions on the living wage, with its stated reasons, is deemed advisable.
The prescribing of the conditions of employment of apprentices and junior labour was also made a function of the Board. The Legislation also, by vesting powers of inquiry and report on a comprehensive list of economic and industrial subjects, made of the Board a permanent Commission, and in this area it has issued the following reports and publications set out below.
