Senate Signals Slower Path for PEC Ending 6x1 Work Scale

Leaders will set which committees review the Chamber-approved change, a decision that will decide whether the 44-to-40 hour shift can pass before the July recess or be reshaped by amendments.

Overview

  • The Chamber-approved constitutional amendment that cuts the weekly workweek from 44 to 40 hours was sent to the Senate on May 28 and is waiting for a formal despacho by Senate President Davi Alcolumbre.
  • Alcolumbre has told leaders the measure must pass through commissions rather than go straight to the floor, a slower route that makes approval before the July 18 recess unlikely.
  • Senate CCJ president Otto Alencar will name the bill’s relator, a choice that will set the pace of hearings, the chance for public input, and the scope of textual changes.
  • Competing texts are already in play: an opposition PEC proposing a flexible hourly regime sits in the CCJ and Senator Carlos Viana announced an amendment to create a 4x3 shift for health and security workers.
  • The government is pressing for advance while unions back the reduction and business groups warn of higher costs and operational disruption, so committee choices will shape both legal details and who benefits or bears costs in the economy.
