Dimensões coletivas da jornada de trabalho: redução, impactos e experiências

Abstract

The research investigates arguments for and against reducing the working day, as well as the institutional arrangements necessary for its adoption. This work was based on an analysis of sociological studies (Dal Rosso et al., 2022), the work of legal experts on the subject of working hours and research into institutional materials on the subject, such as from the ILO, as well as a survey of the repercussions of the campaign to reduce working hours in the media on different websites. The result is that the field of labor law and international experiences have already been opening up to the issue of the damage caused by excessive working hours and the various collective dimensions of working hours, although in Brazil this movement is taking place in the negative regulatory environment of the labor reform. This environment reinforces ideas and practices that are unfavorable to change, even though they are fair and timely in the face of new demands for protection in regulating working hours, the use of new technologies, reconciling work and family life and preventing risks to workers' health.
