RESUMEN

La jornada laboral de ocho horas es uno los máximos logros obtenidos a través de la demanda organizada de los trabajadores. La solidaridad internacional con los mineros de Estados Unidos masacrados en Chicago en 1886 y los eventos posteriores a la Primera Guerra Mundial, promovieron la instauración de la jornada laboral de ocho horas en diversas partes del mundo. En México, la Declaración de Derechos Sociales en el año de 1917 resolvió apegarse a esta postura, bajo la idea de que el sobreejercicio cotidiano del trabajo por arriba de ese límite ocasionaba efectos negativos graves a las salud de los trabajadores; medida que parece haberse sustentado en testimonios, opiniones anecdóticas o en la lógica y el sentido común imperantes entonces. En razón de ello, se efectuó la revisión de algunas observaciones o experiencias que apoyan y ratifican mantener la duración de la jornada laboral tal y como se concibe hasta ahora. Sin embargo, las actuales relaciones contractuales derivadas de la flexibilización y desregulación del trabajo, con originen en las tendencias de la economía global, configuran el reto de mantener la jornada laboral de ocho horas.
