Second Shetland Truck System Report

About this book

In the wake of the Truck Commission Enquiry, the "Second Shetland Truck System Report" by William Guthrie unveils the controversial practice of 'truck'—a system where laborers were compensated with goods instead of currency. This investigative report meticulously details the implications of such payment methods on workers' rights and economic stability, highlighting the struggles for fair compensation and the push for regulation. With a focus on social justice and labor reform, this document is an essential resource for students, civic activists, and historians alike. Dive into a critical examination of unalienable rights and the fight against exploitative practices that shaped labor laws in the late 19th century.
