It was the last cannery in Australia, closed in 2013.
Smart woman
Smart woman is second from right in front. She seems to be the only one using that little raised shelf to keep one foot raised at a time, which saves the lower back. I learned years ago that standing flat footed for hours does a job on the back. Keeping one foot up on a book or platform helps alleviate that stress.
Standing ?
Could never figure out the rule why employees had to stand at their stations to do their work when the job at hand could easily be done sitting, I would have brought my own stool.
