BARTIME
BARTIME
The project 'The monetary rewards of working time dimensions in collective bargaining and in the working population' (BARTIME) is a two-year, EU-funded research project led by the WageIndicator Foundation. It aims to understand how various non-standard working time arrangements - such as evening, weekend, part-time, or on-call work - are monetarily rewarded in collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) and across the workforce in 24 EU countries. Three EU member states are not included because collective agreements are hard to find (Ireland, Malta), or are accessible for members only (Germany).

Newsletters
At WageIndicator, we really wanted to give this project strong visibility as it addresses key issues around working time and collective agreements that are highly relevant to workers, employers, researchers, and policymakers across Europe. By actively highlighting it through multiple newsletters and targeted mailings, we aimed to ensure the findings reached a broad and diverse audience, and support greater transparency and understanding of working time arrangements. In total we sent 10 newsletters; 7 CBA Newsletters, 2 General Newsletters, and 1 Living Wage Newsletter. Furthermore we also sent 4 mailings to promote the BARTIME event. You can find all the newsletter issues linked below.
