President Lula advocated for ending the 6x1 work schedule during a speech at the Democracy Always Forum in Barcelona on Saturday (18). He stated that technological gains cannot benefit only the wealthy. The government has already sent a bill to Congress to reduce the workweek from 44 to 40 hours.
The 6x1 work system refers to a schedule of six working days followed by one day of rest, which the government proposes to replace with a schedule of five working days and two days of rest. The proposal sent to Congress aims to reduce the work week limit from 44 to 40 hours, guaranteeing two paid rest days without salary reduction.
