Cultural advice

The Australian National University acknowledges, celebrates and pays our respects to the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people of the Canberra region and to all First Nations Australians on whose traditional lands we meet and work, and whose cultures are among the oldest continuing cultures in human history.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are advised that ANU Library collections may include images, names, voices, and other representations of deceased persons.

Material in the collection may contain terms, language or views that reflect the period in which the item was created and may be considered inappropriate today.

Abstract

In 1944 staff at Sydney newspapers The Herald, The Telegraph, The Sun and The Mirror struck for a 40-hour week. The Australian Council of Trade Unions lodged a claim for a 40-hour week in 1946 and, two years later, the case was won. The 40-hour week began on 1 January 1948.
