Fatigue is increasingly being recognised as a cause of increased risk for crashes in all four transportation modalities. As society increases reliance on 24-hour operations for commercial transportation, potential disruption to the homeostatic and circadian systems of the vehicle operator leads to heightened risk of a negative consequence. One community response to this problem is to enact laws that are designed to prevent excessive fatigue, or to punish incidents that occur due to it. This thesis examines the laws regulating the length of time operators may work, as well as criminal and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws, Workers Compensation schemes, Industrial Relations arrangements and Negligence. / Thesis (PhDBehaviouralScience)--University of South Australia, 2006.

Apresenta um quadro evolutivo da principal legislação constitucional e infraconstitucional sobre a duração do trabalho, mostrando a estrutura básica da jornada pátria e os pontos de flexibilidade nela existentes, com a identificação dos principais entendimentos jurisprudenciais sobre matérias polêmicas relacionadas ao tema, que causaram disputas judiciais entre trabalhadores e empregadores, especialmente na conturbada década que encerra o século XX.Também aborda a história da jornada de trabalho, as diferenciações de outros tempos de trabalho, os diversos tipos de limitações da jornada, sua regulamentação internacional, o debate sobre a flexibilização do tempo de trabalho nos países de capitalismo avançado, apresentando um estudo comparado sobre a regulação pública da jornada de trabalho na França. Por fim, analisa a estrutura e evolução das relações de trabalho no Brasil, assim como o movimento sindical e o perfil das negociações coletivas que envolveram a jornada de trabalho brasileira na década de 1990 / Abstract: This study identifies and analyses the structure and evolution of the public regulation in working time in Brazil, focusing on its flexibility aspects, from its origins until the end of the 1990 decade. It presents the evolution of the constitutional and infra-constitutional legislation about working time duration, showing the basic structure and the existing flexibility points, as well as identifying the main jurisprudential agreements about polemic points related to the theme that caused juridical disputes between workers and employers, especially in the last decade ofthe 20th century. The research also deals with the history of the daily working time, the differentiation relative to other working times, its main kind of limitations, the international regulation and the debate about the flexible working time in advanced capitalist countries, presenting a comparative study about the working time public regulation in France. And, finally, the study analyses the structure and evolution of working relations in Brazil, as well as the labor union's movement and the profile ofthe collective negotiations related to the working time in Brazil in the decade of 1990 / Mestrado / Economia Social e do Trabalho / Mestre em Desenvolvimento Econômico

Most studies on unions have concentrated on examining the union impact on wages. This thesis, in two essays, examines the union impact on wages, hours, earnings and employment, particularly focussing on the union impact on hours of work. The first essay summarizes previous theoretical union models which normally assume fixed hours of work and extends them so that hours as well as wages and employment can be determined by collective bargaining. Three kinds of union models are employed to examine union impacts on hours as well as union impacts on wages and employment: the monopoly union model (Oswald [1982]), the right to manage model (Nickell [1981]; Nickell and Andrews [1983]) and the efficient contracts model (McDonald and Solow [1980]). The predicted union impact on hours and employment is found to be ambiguous while the union impact on wages is found to be positive. The second essay is concerned with estimating union-nonunion wage, hours and earn ings differentials. Using the 1990 Labour Market Activity Survey, this essay finds that (1) union-nonunion hours differentials are ambiguous for males, but they are positive for females, (2) employers in the union sector extract more hours from more able workers and this contributes greatly to the positive union-nonunion hours differential and (3) union-nonunion hours differentials are smaller for males than for females and as a result, union-nonunion earnings differentials are larger for females than for males.
