Brazil: Lula govt pushes 6x1 shift vote next week; opposition delays

The Lula administration is actively pushing for a Senate vote on the constitutional amendment to end the 6x1 work schedule before the second round of elections. While government ministers are coordinating with Senate President Alcolumbre, Alcolumbre has signaled no rush, indicating a deliberate pacing of the politically sensitive reform. The timing and outcome of the vote remain uncertain, with opposition seeking delays and business leaders criticizing the proposal as an election-eve maneuver.
