Boulos says he will discuss the processing of the project to end the 6x1 work schedule with Motta to expedite the process
Minister Guilherme Boulos plans to meet with Chamber President Hugo Motta to discuss a proposed constitutional amendment regarding the work schedule.
Guilherme Boulos, the Minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency, announced his intent to meet with the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta, to address their disagreements concerning the legislative process surrounding the proposed reduction of the 6x1 work schedule. The proposal aims to amend the current work structure, which the government is keen to expedite through legislation. During a recent visit from President Lula to Mauรก, Boulos emphasized the urgency of moving forward with this legislative initiative.
Motta has submitted a Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC) to the Chamber's Constitutional and Justice Committee (CCJ), which presents a formal approach to altering the existing work schedule. The government, however, is advocating for the discussion of a regular bill (PL) to be prioritized, allowing for a quicker passage through the legislative body. Boulos revealed plans to convene with Motta on Thursday to further discuss the details and potentially align their strategies to facilitate the swift progression of the proposed changes.
The ongoing dialogue between Boulos and Motta highlights the complexities of legislative negotiations in Brazil, especially regarding labor regulations. The outcome of their discussions may significantly impact labor rights and working conditions for many workers who are currently subject to the 6x1 work system. As President Lula and his administration continue to prioritize labor reform, the swift agreement on this topic could signal a shift in the political landscape surrounding worker's rights in Brazil.
