Synopsis
Excerpt from A Trade Union Analysis of Time Study
I should like to say, first, that for many years labor unions had looked askance at time study techniques. Trade unionists had been prone to regard these studies and techniques as manage ment tools for labor speed-ups and for dilution of skills in indus tries where skills are valued factors. The fact that management in the past sought to exclude labor from taking part or exercising any control over time studies served to strengthen this prejudice. A revision of this viewpoint in the women's garment industry.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical evolution of time study through the lens of industrial engineering and collective bargaining. The author, an experienced trade unionist and industrial engineer, traces the development of time study from its early days as a tool for increasing productivity to its current role as a critical component of collective bargaining agreements. The text provides a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and practical aspects of time study, including discussions of measurement, fatigue, and psychological factors, as well as sociological and economic implications. The author argues that time study is not merely a technique for setting production standards but a complex and dynamic process that is deeply embedded in the social and economic fabric of the workplace. By examining the historical interaction between industrial engineering and collective bargaining, this book provides a unique perspective on the role of time study in shaping the modern workplace.
