Truck

Truck

Truck (engl.), Tausch, Tauschhandel; daher Trucksystem, eine, bes. in Fabrikorten gewöhnliche Art, wie Fabrikarbeiter von den Fabrikherren ausgezahlt werden, wobei Waaren (Zucker, Kaffee, Käse, Butter) statt des baaren Geldes gereicht werden. Da hierbei die Arbeiter vielfach gedrückt u. bevortheilt werden, indem jene Waaren über den Werth angeschlagen, auch wohl in größeren Quantitäten aufgenöthigt werden, als der Bedarf der Arbeiter ist, so ist zuweilen von den Regierungen gegen dieses System eingeschritten worden. Vgl. Cottagesystem.
