In determining whether any piece-rate satisfies this condition, regard must be had to the earnings of ordinary workers, i.e., workers of ordinary skill and experience in the class of work in question, and not to the earnings of workers of less than the ordinary skill and experience, e.g., learners and infirm workers.
