Labor laws and legislation -- Germany
Working rules issued before this Act comes into force, shall be subject
to the provisions of Sec.Sec. 134_a_ to 134_c_, 134_e_ (2), 134_f_, and shall
be laid before the lower court of administration in duplicate, within
four weeks.
Sections 134_d_ and 134_e_ (1) shall not apply to later alterations of
such working rules, or to working rules issued for the first time, since
January 1st, 1891.
Sec. 134_h_.
The expression "standing committees of workers," as understood by Sec.Sec.
134_b_ (3), and 134_d_, includes only:
1. The managing committee of the sick-clubs of the business
(factory), or of other clubs existing in the factory, for the
benefit of the workers, the majority of the members of which are
elected by the workers out of their midst--where such exist as
standing committees of workers;
2. The eldest journeymen of such journeymen's unions as include the
business of any employers not subject to the provisions of the
Mining Acts--where such exist as standing committees of workers;
3. Standing committees of workers, formed before Jan. 1st, 1891,
the majority of the members of which are elected by the workers out
of their midst;
4. Representative bodies, the majority of the members of which are
elected out of their midst by direct ballot voting of the workers
of full age in the factory, or in the departments of the business
concerned. The choice of representatives may be made according to
classes of workers or special departments of the business.
Sec. 135.
Children under 13 years of age cannot be employed in factories. Children
above 13 years of age can only be employed in factories if they are no
longer required to attend the elementary schools.
The employment of children under 14 years of age must not exceed 6 hours
a day.
Young persons between 14 and 16 years of age must not be employed in
factories for more than 10 hours a day.
Sec. 136.
Young workers (Sec. 135) shall not begin work before 5.30 in the morning,
or end it later than 8.30 in the evening.
On every working day regular intervals must be granted, between the
hours of work. For children who are only employed for six hours daily,
the interval must amount to half an hour at least. An interval of at
least half an hour at mid-day, and half an hour in the forenoon and
afternoon must be given to other young workers.
During the intervals, employment of young workers in the business of the
factory shall be entirely prohibited, and their retention in the work
rooms shall only be permitted, if the part of the business in which the
young workers are employed is completely suspended in the work rooms
during the time of the interval, or if their stay in the open air is not
practicable, and if other special rooms cannot be procured without
disproportionate difficulties.
