Abstract
AbstractChapters 4, 5, and 6 all explore the implications of the way in which the boundaries of the labour commodity are constructed in law, focusing on the boundaries it constructs between work and non-work on one hand, and work and worker on the other. This chapter traces these boundaries through their articulation in the context of the evolution of working time regulation, paying close attention to the implications of a juridical conception of work that conceptualizes the latter through the lens of contractually mediated control over time. The chapter provides a detailed analysis of working time in the context of factory legislation, tracing its evolution to the present day in the context of the Working Time Regulations 1998, as influenced by EU law. The chapter uses this analysis to shed light on recent trends in the organization of work, including trends towards casualization, fragmentation, and overwork, and how this tends to ‘invisibilize’ certain forms of, or periods of, work, with not insignificant distributive implications.
