FecomercioSP delegation goes to Brasília this Tuesday (5) to pressure deputies against the PEC that reduces the workweek from 44 to 40 hours, while a special commission begins discussions on the 6×1 scale, labor costs, jobs, informality, and impact on retail.

According to the CNN Brasil, with the advancement of the PEC to end the 6×1 scale, a delegation of entrepreneurs from São Paulo arrives in Brasília this Tuesday (5) to try to block the proposal that reduces the workweek from 44 hours to 40 hours. The mobilization is led by FecomercioSP and takes place on the same day as the first meeting of the special commission created to discuss the topic.

Entrepreneurs try to block the end of the 6×1 scale

The delegation intends to meet with deputies from different parties in Congress and also with the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB). The group seeks to pressure against the approval of the PEC, which changes the weekly work schedule and expands the debate on the 6×1 scale in the country.

Entrepreneurs from different municipalities in São Paulo, in addition to the capital, participate in the agenda. The list includes representatives from Taubaté, Barretos, Itararé, Matão, Itapetininga, Adamantina, Ourinhos, and Campinas.

Special commission begins discussion of the proposal

The special commission will hold its first meeting this Tuesday (5). The collegiate body will discuss the work plan of the rapporteur, deputy Leo Prates (Republicanos-BA), and the summoning of political and union leaders for the next meetings.

The deputies are also expected to vote on requests related to the progress of the debates. On the agenda are requests to hear workers, union representatives, and the Minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, Guilherme Boulos.

The rapporteur expects to vote on the proposal in the last week of May. To meet this deadline, the special commission must hold more than one meeting per week.

FecomercioSP sees cost increase with the 6×1 scale

Entrepreneurs claim that the PEC could lead to a significant increase in labor costs. They also point to the risk of harm to competitiveness, a drop in employability, and pressure on public accounts.

FecomercioSP estimates that reducing the current workweek from 44 hours to 40 hours would increase payroll costs by R$ 158 billion. The entity uses this number as one of its main arguments against the change.

The federation also states that there would be a specific impact on women. The argument is that the female workforce represents between 44% and 50% of Brazilian retail, a sector that depends on weekend operations and offers extra pay for those who work during these periods.

For FecomercioSP, the PEC would bring more rigidity to the work schedule and could reduce jobs, overtime, and contracts available to women. The entity also argues that the change in the 6×1 scale could increase informality and cause income loss for these professionals.
