Deputy Luiz Gastão (PSD-CE) Warns That Ending the 6-for-1 Scale May Raise Costs for Micro and Small Businesses by Up to R$ 35 Billion, Affecting Consumer Prices and Requiring Alternatives to Preserve Jobs and Productivity in the Country

The deputy Luiz Gastão (PSD-CE), rapporteur of the subcommittee analyzing the Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC) 8/25, warned about the financial impact that ending the 6-for-1 scale could generate for micro and small businesses in Brazil.

During the program Me Conta+, broadcast by the Chamber of Deputies on Friday (10), he estimated that the costs for these companies could increase by around R$ 35 billion with the end of the 44-hour weekly work limit.

“This cost will be paid by all of us, consumers, because products will become more expensive,” he stated. “Our mission is to evaluate not only the work scale but also the costs it generates.”

Sector Concentrates Jobs and Requires Alternatives

Gastão emphasized that micro and small businesses are responsible for the majority of formal jobs in the country.

For this reason, he advocated for the creation of tax credits to reduce taxes on payroll for labor-intensive companies. “It is fair for the worker to have more rest time, and we are seeking alternatives for that,” he said.

Regional and Sectoral Differences Under Discussion

The parliamentarian highlighted that work schedules vary by sector, citing healthcare professionals who work six hours a day on a 6×1 schedule. “Hospitals cannot close on weekends, and transportation needs to operate every day,” he exemplified. He also advocated for rules to consider regional and productivity differences.

Next Steps in the Chamber

The subcommittee of the Labor Commission will hold public hearings until November 15. The final report, with proposals on work hours, schedules, and work mechanisms, will be presented by the end of the month.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Scientists have discovered that the Earth recycles its own continents in the depths, dragging pieces of crust down during plate collisions and returning them later as magma, in a mechanism called relamination that has helped build the continents for billions of years.

New mathematical model indicates global population decline by 2064 in an extreme scenario of environmental crises, with humanity potentially halving if Earth’s sustainable capacity is reduced to 2 billion people.

Research led by the University of Zurich followed 12 crew members for ten months at the Concordia Station in Antarctica, where winter temperatures can drop to minus 80°C, and identified conflicts, distrust, perceived performance decline, and the formation of subgroups in an extreme environment.

A ton of old cell phones can contain up to 800 times more gold than a ton of ore extracted from a mine, according to the UN, and it is this hidden wealth in drawers that drives so-called urban mining, which can even be turned into Olympic medals.

Robot dives up to 500 meters into the dark depths of the sea to retrieve ghost nets that total more than 600,000 tons per year in the ocean and continue capturing animals for centuries.
