The Lula Government Showed Interest in Supporting a Proposal by Deputy Erika Hilton That Suggests Modifying Work Schedules

According to information from CNN Brazil, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will talk to allies to decide whether to support the proposal to reduce the weekly work hours to 36. The measure could mean the end of the 6×1 schedule, very common in commerce and services, and has generated intense debate within the government’s base.

The Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC), presented by Deputy Erika Hilton (Psol-SP), suggests limiting the maximum weekly working hours to 36. Currently, the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) allows weekly work hours of up to 44.

The PEC still needs the approval of the President of the Chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), before it can start to move forward.

Lula Wants to Evaluate Economic Impacts

Before making a decision, Lula intends to carefully check the economic and social effects of the proposal. Among the concerns are its impact on inflation, the possibility of increased unemployment, and the reactions from the productive sector and the financial market.

Erika Hilton is awaiting a meeting with Lula and Minister Gleisi Hoffmann from the Institutional Relations Ministry to discuss the topic.

The government’s support will be essential for the proposal to advance in Congress.

Understand What the 6×1 Schedule Is

Currently, the CLT does not specify the exact division of working days per week. The most well-known schedule is the 5×2, where employees work five days and have two days off. However, sectors such as commerce frequently prefer the 6×1 schedule, with six days worked and only one day off.

There are variations of this schedule, such as daily shifts of 7 hours and 20 minutes, or even 8 hours on some days compensated by shorter shifts on others.

The main complaint from workers is that the day off usually falls during the week, rarely coinciding with Sunday, making it difficult for family and social interaction.

With the discussion initiated by Lula, the future of this schedule may be numbered, but it is still early to determine if there will be enough agreement for such an important change in Brazilian labor legislation.

Understand What the 6×1 Schedule Is

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

Unemployed and with a child to support, Joab turned hot coffee into a fresh start: he wakes up at 2 a.m., sells on Anhanguera, lets drivers pay later through the “trust Pix,” and conquers the internet even when some continue their journey without depositing.

The explosion in Siberia, recorded on June 30, 1908, over Tunguska, released energy estimated between 10 and 15 megatons of TNT, devastated about 2,150 square kilometers of forest, knocked down approximately 80 million trees, and remains one of the biggest warnings about near-Earth objects.

Lock manufacturer from Rio Grande do Sul invests R$ 150 million to surpass R$ 1 billion in revenue, create 200 jobs, and double storage capacity, while choosing Santa Catarina to set up a new logistics center and speed up deliveries in Southern Brazil.

The Iron Beam combat laser from Israel goes into real operation and starts shooting down drones for about three and a half dollars per shot.

Luciano Hang’s cousin left Havan after nearly a decade, invested in real estate, and now manages R$ 6 billion in launches; the entrepreneur, who only gets paid when he sells, claims to have sold out an entire building in Santa Catarina in just 45 minutes.

Trump threatens Brazil with a 25% tariff and uses illegal deforestation as an argument to pressure exports; US report accuses environmental failures, while recent decline in the Amazon exposes a dispute that could impact Brazilian trade and politics.

Havan, the retailer from Santa Catarina owned by Luciano Hang, will offer a contract of R$ 40,000 to whoever produces the best video in tribute to the company’s 40th anniversary, in a national influencer contest open to anyone with a profile on Instagram or TikTok.
