Was every 2 weeks I did nights 4 minimum 10 & half hour shifts Monday to Thursday half hour cause you didn't get paid your meal break used to have that on job most times cause you was on a production rate piecework as well as a basic rate. 5 day shifts 8 & half hours. Worked overtime on nights for the extra money also then I wasn't on full money still in my apprenticeship only got extra money for working nights shift allowance on your basic rate AEU engineering union rules. Worked on large lathes mostly was some work involved setting up before you started machining jobs also on some old lathes tightening tools in for that with a large hammer. Like I said varied work was BSC for 1st 16 years I worked there then got made into a private company. Sorry for long post just to explain.
