Mental Health: So How Much Work is too Much?

Mental Health: So How Much Work is too Much?

The following is a snippet from a New Scientist article on the growing push towards reducing hours, from working a five day week to a four day week while still receiving the five day wage. I’m specifically looking at the mental health aspect, which I thought was interesting (see below for the full article).

Collective Agreement for Part-time College Support Staff: Are Sessional Faculty Next?

“After a ‘huge undertaking’ that began in 2005, about 20,000 part-time college support staff in Ontario have finally signed their first collective agreement with the College Employer Council (CEC), which represents 24 community colleges in the province.”

“’It’s the biggest organizing drive in decades, if not in the history of the labour movement,’ said Warren (Smokey) Thomas, Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) president. ’It was funny — a year to the date of certification, we got the tentative agreement. I wouldn’t plan it; it was just a fluke,’ he said. ‘It’s good to see (for) this group of people.’”

“The part-time support workers were certified by the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) on Jan. 30, said Thomas.”

“This agreement is the first of its kind — which provides fair terms and conditions for part-time workers who play an important role in developing career-ready Ontarians. Over half our part-time workers are current students and this deal ensures they can access part-time opportunities during their time at college. These job opportunities provide income and valuable experience to students, helping jump-start their careers. ’Hopefully, the new contract eliminates the glut of precarious work in the college system’, said Thomas. ‘A lot of this workforce comes and goes because they’re part-time. There’s people in the college system who have been part-time or precarious, contract after contract for 15, 20 years, and they stuck with it,’ he said.”

STUCK WITH PART-TIME WORK

According to a study released by the Economic Policy Institute, the proportion of workers forced to settle for part-time employment has grown since the Great Recession. 

Workers involuntarily stuck in part-time jobs increased 1.3 percent from 2007 to 2015, the research showed. While the recession is partly to blame, the report said that during the recovery more businesses intensified their use of part-time employees, particularly in the retail, hotel and food services industries. 

Involuntary part-time work is increasing nearly five times faster than part-time work overall, the study said, and 18 times faster than all work. 

At the same time, the rate of voluntary part-time work has decreased slightly since 2007, which suggests "employer-side actions rather than workers increasing their desire for part-time schedules," according to EPI. 

"It is possible that future economic expansion and further reduction in rates of unemployment will eventually yield a diminution in the number of involuntary part-timers able to secure full-time employment, but this cannot be assumed or certain."
