Abstract

Working hours contribute significantly towards forming individual working life and determine the possibilities to create improved work/life balance; the design of which – length and distribution – is consequently a corner stone of the whole arrangement of the welfare state. Changes in working time policy, in trade union policies of collective agreements and co-determination, are closely linked to developments within the welfare state. This is demonstrated by the example of the working time policy of IG Metall. It becomes clear that working time policy and collective agreement coverage are constitutional corner stones of the German welfare state model – and must remain so. Innovative working time design is therefore the basis for a new form of a standard work arrangement and the pre-requisite is the extension of collective agreement coverage. The political aim is to make labour policy and above all working time policy, a trade union and socio-political project.
