Este es un informe elaborado en el marco del proyecto WIBAR 1. Dicho proyecto tiene como objetivo promover la incorporación de análisis comparativos transnacionales a nivel temático y sectorial mediante el uso de los datos de la encuesta WageIndicator relativos a salarios, condiciones de trabajo y duración de la jornada laboral. El Amsterdam Institute of Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) / Universidad de Amsterdam desarrolló el proyecto WIBAR en cooperación con la Confederación Europea de Sindicatos (CES). El proyecto se centra en la participación del sindicalismo europeo en el desarrollo de las relaciones laborales en el lugar de trabajo y en la negociación colectiva a escala europea. La CES formuló cuatro ejes estratégicos principales de negociación, junto con las directrices correspondientes para 2006: los salarios en general y el trabajo con bajas remuneraciones; el tiempo de trabajo; la igualdad de género; y la formación y el aprendizaje permanente. Para la CES, los secretariados industriales europeos y sus sindicatos nacionales afiliados, la necesidad de comparaciones detalladas y específicas por sector resulta hoy más acuciante que nunca. El proyecto WIBAR pretende generar herramientas de utilidad práctica e intensificar la difusión y el debate en torno a la negociación colectiva a escala europea. Este informe fue presentado en la conferencia sobre relaciones laborales y negociación colectiva, celebrada en abril de 2007 y organizada por la Universidad de Ámsterdam.

Recorded history confirms that humans have an enduring interest in improving the ways they schedule their work. Historically, this is manifest as a persistent effort to find ways that schedule work to reduce fatigue, improve recovery, and increase time for leisure activity. However, as society and industry develops and expands, there is most often a growing demand for around-the-clock continuous services. The clock, the 8-hour workday, and the 5-day work week can all be considered as good examples of serious and premodern-science efforts to schedule work better and at the same time respond to increasing demands for services. Scientific interest in the schedules of workers was aroused by wartime problems (Taylor 1969), dramatic changes in shiftwork use (International Labour Office, 1978), and the emergence of chronobiology as a respected scientific approach (US Congress, Office of Technology Assessment 1991).

Working time became important only after the distinctive change in the character of labour following the industrial revolution. Before this change the majority of people in Europe worked the land, and a smaller number of people, based in towns and cities, were occupied in crafts, controlled by guilds. Work patterns were organized around the seasons, including religious festivals, or according to task. Farming communities sowed seeds, guarded lambing sheep, harvested by the season, and milked cows daily; tides determined the working rhythm of fishing communities; handicrafts were made by people who owned their own tools; iron-ore furnaces were fed with fuel at the required time. Almost one third of the year was days dedicated to some saint or other (Hill, 1968: 148). However, following the enclosures of the common lands, the proportion of the population able to make a living by working the land was drastically reduced. What ultimately emerged was a large class of people with no other means of livelihood than the sale of their ability to labour. Their capacity to labour belonged to the labourers themselves, along with the responsibility for maintaining this capacity. These 'free' labourers sold this capacity in units of time. The profound set of changes in the nature of work brought about by the industrial revolution is usually discussed in terms of three stages: the putting-out system of cottage industry; manufacturing; and, finally, modem industry.

Working time concerns the hours of the day and the days of the week that work takes place. Most people have standard working hours between 0800 and 1800 on week days. But work also takes place at non-standard hours in the evening, at night and on weekends. Non-standard working times constitute an important part of the economy and society. Work at non-standard hours may have negative effects on the health and well-being of workers because of tiredness and problems of combining work and private life.

Wage Indicator Bargaining in Europe (WIBAR): This project aimed to support European collective bargaining by means of elaborating detailed reports drawn from WageIndicator data in 8 WageIndicator countries (BE, DE, DK, ES, FI, GB, NL, PL). This project was funded by the European Commission (Industrial Relations and Social Dialogue Program), Budget Heading 04030301. Nr 2006/VP001/10017. The project leader was Professor Kea Tijdens and it run from 08/2006-08/2007. The papers elaborated for this project where presented in a conference in De Burcht in spring 2007 and they have been published in a book by the European Trade Union Institute in 2008 (English, Spanish and German versions).

Labour Law, now in its third edition, is a well established text which offers a comprehensive and critical account of the subject by a team of prominent labour lawyers. It examines both collective labour relations and individual employment rights, including equality law, and does so while having full regard to the international labour standards as well as the implications of Brexit. Case studies and reports from government and other public agencies illuminate the text to show how the law works in practice, ensuring that students acquire not only a sophisticated knowledge of the law but also an appreciation of its purpose and the complexity of the issues which it addresses.

U ovom radu prikazano je normativno uređenje instituta radnog vremena. Riječ je o jednom od najvažnijih instituta radnog prava za kojeg je najvažniji pravni izvor Zakon o radu. Kao punopravna članica Europske Unije, Republika Hrvatska je obvezna poštivati izvore prava Europske Unije, tako i u vezi radnog vremena. U tom pogledu osim direktiva nam je značajna i praksa Suda Europske Unije koja je znatno utjecala na današnje utvrđivanje pojma radnog vremena. Zakon o radu je u poglavlju o radnom vremenu, radno vrijeme definirao kao razdoblje u kojem je radnik obvezan obavljati poslove, odnosno u kojoj je spreman (raspoloživ) obavljati poslove prema uputama poslodavca, na mjestu gdje se njegovi poslovi obavljaju ili drugom mjestu koje odredi poslodavac. Uz definiranje pojma, u ovom radu ćemo prikazati i različite oblike radnog vremena u kojima je vidljiv utjecaj trenda fleksibilizacije, koji dominira zadnja dva desetljeća, a kojim se nastoji pitanje radnog vremena prilagoditi potrebama tržišta.

Until the Working Time Regulations 1998, there was no general framework of legislation in the United Kingdom dealing with working time. But this does not mean that there is no tradition of statutory regulation. For many years, we had legislation setting limits on the hours of work for those engaged in certain occupations, such as coal-mining and road transport. We also had legislation regulating the working time of women and young people in factories, with the (now repealed) Factories Act 1961 making fairly detailed provision for a maximum nine-hour day, a maximum forty-eight-hour week, and rest breaks of at least half an hour after a maximum of four-and-a-half hours work. And we also had legislation authorising trade boards (subsequently renamed as wages councils) to regulate working time in the various different industries in which they were established. Otherwise, working time would be governed by collective agreements negotiated between employers and trade unions, with collective agreements having very high levels of coverage in the period between 1946 and 1979 in particular.
