Brazil Senate to Vote on PEC Ending 6x1 Work Schedule Wednesday

Senate President Alcolumbre confirmed the plenary will begin voting on PEC 221/2019, which would end the 6x1 work schedule, on Wednesday. He indicated sufficient support for a special calendar to allow two-round voting and potential promulgation. The outcome remains uncertain as the proposal faces opposition from business groups, but a successful vote would mark a significant labor reform in Brazil.
