The National Anti-Sweating League is the name adopted by two groups of social reformers in Australia and Britain at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Both campaigned against the poor conditions endured by many workers in so-called sweatshops and called for a minimum wage.
The National Anti-Sweating League was inaugurated in Melbourne on 29 Jul 1895, with Rev.
Alexander Gosman as president, Samuel Mauger as secretary, and Alfred Deakin as treasurer.
[3] The National Anti-Sweating League was an all-party pressure group formed in 1906 with a 3-day conference in the Guildhall, London.
