Brazil 6x1 workweek abolition gains Lula and Bolsonaro ally support, heads to Senate

A long-standing proposal to end Brazil's 6x1 work schedule (six days on, one off) has gained momentum, now backed by President Lula and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who previously opposed it. The bill passed the Chamber despite resistance and now moves to the Senate, where its fate is uncertain. This cross-partisan support signals a potential major labor reform, but details and timing remain unclear.
