Minister Guilherme Boulos announced that the federal government is expected to send to the Chamber of Deputies by Wednesday (15th) a bill about ending the 6x1 work schedule. Before sending it, Lula is expected to meet with Chamber President Hugo Motta to explain the proposal and request urgent status.
The 6x1 schedule is a work model where employees work six consecutive days and rest one day, criticized by the Life Beyond Work movement that advocates for changes in labor legislation. The proposal under discussion provides for a gradual reduction of weekly hours from 44 to 36 hours over five years, establishing a limit of five working days per week with two guaranteed rest days.
A constitutional amendment proposal on reducing working hours is already in process in the Chamber and is in the Constitution and Justice Committee
