Company bargaining and working time accounts in France and Germany
Journal Article · 2022 · Interventions Economiques : Papers in Political Economy, (68)
Abstract
Working time accounts are frequently used by employees in France and Germany to save and spend time. But do they really increase the time autonomy of individuals? Who decides on the design and use of these instruments? These accounts give companies the possibility to synchronize work with the production of goods in order to meet market demands. This means space for compromise and collective bargaining. Our research project aims to describe the negotiation, content and use of these accounts, highlighting important societal differences and addressing the question of time autonomy strengthening.
