Australia faces 56 hour week claim in Melbourne court
Mr Aird told the Arbitration Court in Melbourne that Australia pays for more unworked time and gains fewer annual production hours per worker than most nations. He cited Britain 47–48 hours, US debates on 40-hour workweek, Canada 44–48, France 40 with overtime, and Russia’s five year plan of a 56 hour week with 12 days of leave and six holidays. He warned that granting a 40 hour claim could drop living standards by up to 10 percent and cut production by around 5 to 8 percent, costing £70–£80 million annually.
