Brazil Senate expedites PEC to end 6x1 work schedule

The Brazilian government is pushing to fast-track a constitutional amendment (PEC) that would abolish the 6x1 work schedule, with Senate leader Teresa Leitão requesting a special calendar to enable votes as early as next week. Senate President Davi Alcolumbre has signaled support, but the outcome remains uncertain pending signature collection and floor votes. This marks a significant labor-policy shift in Brazil, with potential economic and political implications.
