Paulo Azi, a deputy and ally of former Salvador mayor ACM Neto from União Brasil, is set to be officially announced as the rapporteur for PEC (Proposta de Emenda à Constituição) 6x1, which seeks to eliminate the 6x1 work schedule. This announcement is expected to be made on Tuesday, following a meeting involving key political figures, including the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta. The PEC is one of the main agenda items for President Lula's administration this semester.

The decision to appoint Azi was made in a recent meeting between Motta and other party leaders, including the chairman of the CCJ, Leur Lomanto. Although formal announcements are pending, sources have confirmed that Azi's selection is already finalized. As the rapporteur, Azi will play a crucial role in negotiating any changes to the proposal with the government, other parliamentarians, and the wider society, ensuring that the PEC is manageable and acceptable for voting.

The implications of the PEC 6x1 are significant, especially in terms of labor laws in Brazil. The 6x1 work schedule has been a contentious point in recent discussions, and with Lula's government pushing this reform, the outcome of Azi's negotiations could reshape labor rights and expectations in the country. If successful, the abolishment of the 6x1 system may also set a precedent for further labor reforms under this administration.
