Finance Minister Dario Durigan stated in Washington that ending the 6x1 work schedule cannot generate costs for the National Treasury. He advocated that the issue should be debated by Congress with a possible transition period for affected sectors.
The 6x1 schedule refers to a work regime of six consecutive days with one day of rest, currently applied by some sectors of the Brazilian economy. The government sent a bill with constitutional urgency proposing changes to labor rules, but constitutional amendment proposals on the topic are also being processed in Congress.
