Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Truck System of paying wages relates to the practice of paying workers in script, or tokens, rather than legal money, for their labour. During the 18th and 19th centuries, it was a wide-spread practice in the world, and still exists in some areas today (2009). It was made illegal for miners (and other specified occupations) in the U.K. in 1831. (1831 Act 1 and 2 Will. 4 c. 37) with further restrictions legally imposed in the 1870's. |
