Hugo Motta, the president of Brazil's Chamber of Deputies, announced that there will be no hasty discussions regarding the proposed constitutional amendment (PEC) aiming to reduce work hours to a 6x1 schedule. Speaking during a lunch meeting of the Parliamentary Front for Entrepreneurship, Motta highlighted the necessity for deliberation through a PEC rather than a simple legislative project, as the former involves more extensive negotiations among the interested parties. He emphasized that this process demands greater consensus-building to achieve a workable proposal.

Motta recognized the legitimate desire of the working class to discuss work hour reduction and noted that it is crucial for both the government and the productive sector to understand how to accommodate such demands. He pointed out that the nature of a PEC's progression usually allows for a more thorough examination of the implications and economic consequences involved than that of a simple bill, which could potentially expedite the process but might overlook essential discussions.

The president of the Chamber warned that unless there is a solid consensus among all stakeholders, the proposed amendment faces significant challenges for approval. He underscored that any discussions should be founded on a comprehensive understanding of the economic impacts, ensuring that the dialogue leads to effective and sustainable reforms in labor policy.
