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.
