Senate sets debate calendar On six-day workweek reform

Oct 6

TV Brasil reports Alcolumbre's October 6 commitment to the regular constitutional-amendment debate sequence on ending six-days-on/one-day-off schedules: five first-round and three second-round discussions, hybrid sessions October 6–8 and a possible first vote the following week. Alcolumbre declines fast-tracking and says senators should vote according to conviction. Bruna Saniele explains the proposed transition from forty-four to forty hours with two rest days and no pay reduction, and its earlier Chamber and Senate committee steps. The anchors discuss unequal bargaining over time off. These are a legislative timetable and proposed protections, without enactment or a completed vote.
