Brazil Senate to Vote on 40-Hour Workweek Bill; Schedule Uncertain

Brazil's Senate faces a vote on reducing the workweek from 44 to 40 hours (6x1 shift), a softened version of a proposal by deputy Erika Hilton, adopted by the Lula government. House President Davi Alcolumbre aims to vote this year, but timing is uncertain. The bill primarily affects small and medium enterprises, and its passage would mark a significant labor reform.
