Projeto define nova jornada no setor e aplica enquadramento automático aos trabalhadores, com exceções permitidas apenas por negociação

Fixed Workload of 8 Hour Daily and 40 Hour Weekly for 26,534 Workers in the Meat Sector in 2023 Approved by the Chamber with New Collective Bargaining Rules and Automatic Classification

The Labor Committee of the Chamber approved a proposal that establishes an 8-hour daily and 40-hour weekly work schedule for employees in the meat sector, valid from Monday to Friday, with weekend work only upon collective agreement, which matters because it changes the CLT and impacts thousands of employees.

The Labor Committee of the Chamber approved a bill that sets an 8-hour daily and 40-hour weekly work schedule for slaughter, manufacturing, and processing employees of meat intended for human consumption, according to the Chamber News Agency.

The norm stipulates that the schedule should be fulfilled from Monday to Friday, while activities on Saturdays and Sundays will depend on an agreement or collective agreement made between workers and employers, with no external exceptions.

Work Accidents

Vicentinho cited data from the 2023 Statistical Yearbook of Work Accidents indicating 26,534 accidents in the sector, equivalent to 3.62% of national occurrences, which evidences vulnerability and reinforces the urgency of the approved changes, despite one piece of data being difficult to verify.

Next Steps

The proposal is being processed in a conclusive manner and will still be analyzed by the Constitution and Justice and Citizenship Committee before proceeding to a vote in the Chamber and the Senate, concluding a stage that began with the original PL.
