| Summary: | Through fieldwork on an assembly plant in the automotive industry, this article seeks to show that working time has adopted a flexible and fragmented nature following the concomitant transformations of work organization and industrial relations. This time is linked to the production flow and volume, which makes it less regular and predictable from the point of view of employees. Their working hours can vary upward or downward depending on market or industrial constraints. Added to this flexibility is the desynchronization of the time of the various workshops and shifts at the plant. As a result, employees and their representatives have less and less control over working time that seems to be imposed on them from the outside. Faced with this situation, the demands of the employees’ representatives are shrinking. They try to restore a certain regularity and synchronicity to the working time when they do not seek to negotiate salary compensation. The current changes in the organization of work therefore call into question – but in a discreet way – one of the dominant measures of work under the Fordian regime by profoundly reforming the methods of negotiating working time. |
