Los sindicatos ante la conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar-personal

Through both the exploitation of European and Spanish official documents, jointly with interview analysis carried out among Spanish labor unionists, the position of labor unions around work-life balance policies is explained. The analysis achieved in this article puts forward that the formulation of work-life balance as a collective right does not seem to imply a real balance among the productive, the domestic and the personal dimensions of working life. In all, its identification as a women-only policy does not promote a new organization of work, domestic as well as productive, or an increase of public aid services.
