Transcript | Prohibition of young workers up to twenty years being employed in shops and industries injurious to their health, such as glass works, underground work in the mines, certain branches of the chemical industry, and others. Equal unemployment doles for young and adult workers; unemployment doles ranging from the subsistence minimum upwards. Compulsory employment of the unemployed youth either in shops or training schools which guarantee continuation of training for the young workers who have been compelled to interrupt their apprenticeship. Regarding Technical Training and the Apprenticeship System our demands are as follows: Compulsory free and complete trade education for all young workers up to eighteen years . Technical training to be based on practical work and regulated according to the principles of the workshop schools, factories, etc. The basis for this is the establishment of special apprentices' departments in the factories. Establishment of common training shops for a number of home and petty industries, in which part of the working hours are to be spent. Abolition of individual indentures, and the inclusion of the apprentices in all collective agreements. Abolition of apprentices' sweating, by strict regulations regarding the right to employ apprentices-maximum number of apprentices in proportion to a definite number of workers, severe punishment for mistreatment and for offences against working hours and protective legislation. Two years apprenticeship, including the probation period, which is quite sufficient in view of the present capitalist character of work. Prohibition of employing apprentices with work not belonging to their trade. fe & Prohibition of the living-in system. Strict supervision of apprenticeship by the organs of the working class—trade unions, shop councils, and others Labor organizations and their representatives to have a voice in the supervision of the training shops and trade schools. Apprentices or pupils to elect councils for the same purpose. 36 |
