TITLE 34 LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

Section 3. Hours of Labor in Factories, 34-3-1 through 34-3-4.

34-3-1. Hours of labor in cotton or woolen manufacturing establishments.

The hours of labor required of all persons employed in all cotton or woolen manufacturing establishments in this state, except engineers, firefighters, watchmen, mechanics, teamsters, yard employees, clerical force, and all help that may be needed to clean up and make necessary repairs or changes in or of machinery, shall not exceed ten hours per day; or the same may be regulated by employers, so that the number of hours shall not in the aggregate exceed 60 hours per week, provided that nothing contained in this Code section shall be construed to prevent any of the aforesaid employees from working such time as may be necessary to make up lost time, not to exceed ten days, caused by accidents or other unavoidable circumstances.

(Ga. L. 1889, p. 163, § 1; Civil Code 1895, § 2615; Civil Code 1910, § 3137; Ga. L. 1911, p. 65, § 1; Code 1933, § 54-201; Ga. L. 1983, p. 3, § 25; Ga. L. 2002, p. 660, § 4; Ga. L. 2002, p. 1259, § 11.)

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Legislature intended to remedy unreasonable hours.

- The evil sought to be remedied by the legislature was the unreasonable hours of service of employees working in cotton and woolen manufacturing establishments. 1945-47 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 354.

This section could not be of force in industry engaged in interstate commerce, since subsequent federal statutes have been enacted which in law supersede state statutes. 1945-47 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 354.

Application of section.

- Whether workers and fixers in textile factories are within the maximum hours provisions of the state law depends upon whether their work is a necessary part of the day's operation, and not merely incidental thereto. 1945-47 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 354.
