Motivado por una legislación coyuntural de urgencia, en especial el Real Decreto-ley 8/2020, de medidas urgentes extraordinarias para hacer frente al impacto económico y social del “Covid-19” y el Real Decreto-ley 28/2020 de trabajo a distancia, la sentencia de referencia despliega un interesante estudio a partir de su conflicto central, cifrado en un diferente tratamiento empresarial de sus trabajadores en orden al cómputo del tiempo carente de actividad productiva debido a desconexiones que impidan la prestación, incidencia imputable a la empresa suministradora. Del mismo tenor litigioso se plantea el cómputo del tiempo para atender las necesidades fisiológicas de los trabajadores, excluibles del resto de descansos y computables de forma autónoma. El sindicato accionante dedujo demanda de conflicto colectivo frente a la empresa, reclamando como “tiempo de trabajo” aquella incidencia debidamente acreditada (interrupción de suministro) e igualmente pausa autónoma y tiempo de trabajo efectivo computable en los supuestos de necesidades fisiológicas.
Motivated by emergency legislation, in particular Royal Decree-law 8/2020 on extraordinary urgent measures to deal with the economic and social impact of ‘Covid-19’ and Royal Decree-law 28/2020 on teleworking, the judgement in question carries out an interesting study based on its central conflict, which consists of a different treatment by the company of its workers with regard to the calculation of time without productive activity, due to disconnections that prevent the provision of services, which is an incident attributable to the supplying company. The same contentious issue arises with regard to the calculation of time to attend to the physiological needs of the workers, which can be excluded from the rest of the rest breaks and can be calculated independently. The claimant trade union filed a collective dispute claim against the company, claiming as ‘working time’ the duly accredited supply interruption, as well as autonomous breaks and effective working time that can be taken into account in cases of physiological needs.
