Overtime became the rule, night work and Sunday work were common. Trade unions saw the gains of years swept away.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Workshop Hints for Munition Workers In this handbook is made an attempt to familiarise the reader with certain processes and tools likely to be used by him in his capacity as a munitions worker in an engineering factory.
