Deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) presented an amendment to the PEC that eliminates the 6x1 work schedule. The amendment provides that the federal government compensate companies for the costs of changing the work schedule.

The discussion about ending the 6×1 work schedule occurs within the framework of two proposals being analyzed by the Chamber's Constitution and Justice Committee, including Deputy Erika Hilton's PEC that provides for a 36-hour weekly workday. Workers demonstrated in various cities across the country demanding an end to the 6×1 schedule, while President Lula sent an urgent bill to Congress on the issue.
