The actual working hours of the men and women employed in the
siery industry varied considerably from the full-time or scheduled
urs of work, with a tendency toward undertime rather than overtime
ork. Women in particular tended to work less than their scheduled
urs, 56 per cent of those employed in the full-fashioned hosiery inistry
and 70 per cent of those in seamless hosiery establishments
orked less than their scheduled hours. (Chart 4) Precisely one-third
the men in both types of hosiery manufacture worked undertime.
he full-time scheduled hours were worked by 37 per cent of the women
the full-fashioned industry and 29 per cent in the seamless hosiery
dustry. Men had more overtime work in seamless than in fullshioned
hosiery. Women had very little overtime work in fullishioned
hosiery and practically none in seamless hosiery.
Of the men and women working overtime both in the full-fashioned
1d in the seamless hosiery industry, the majority had less than eight
ours overtime. For those losing time from their work, in general
le lost time was much greater in the seamless than in the full-fashioned
»siery industry. Practically one-fifth of the men and more than onealf
the women engaged in the manufacture of seamless hosiery lost
ght hours or more from their regular weekly schedule (Table 13).
