Representative Reginaldo Lopes (PT-MG), deputy leader of the Lula government in the National Congress, came out in defense of the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) which proposes the extinction of the 6×1 working day – in which employees work for six days a week, taking one day off – for a 4×3 shift, with four days worked and three days off.
The text written by Erika Hilton, leader of the PSOL – Rede federation, is already being processed by the Chamber’s Constitution and Justice Committee and has caused controversy on social media in recent days.
“The initial proposal is this. But we can adapt. We can reduce the transition period to 8 or 4 years. I also think that the proposal can be processed together, when it receives the necessary signatures. This way we save time”, said deputy Reginaldo Lopes in an interview with Poder360this Tuesday (12).
“Deputy Alencar Braga (PT-SP), who is at the CCJ, expressed interest in being the new rapporteur. The report is already ready, in favor of admissibility. I believe it will be possible to address this this week”, he added.
Before leaving the composition of the CCJ, the project’s rapporteur at the Commission was deputy Tarcísio Motta (PSOL-RJ). The nomination of the rapporteur depends on the president of the CCJ, deputy Caroline De Toni (PL-SC).
Clash
To date, the proposal has already received the support of 134 parliamentarians. To be filed, a PEC needs the signatures of at least a third of the deputies – 171 out of 513.
Once this stage has been overcome, it must be approved by committees and, in plenary, it requires the votes of three-fifths of the parliamentarians in the Chamber and the Senate, with two rounds of voting in each House.
Analysts interviewed by People’s Gazette They say the proposal is for companies and employees.
Politicians have also used social media to express support or speak against the project.
In a video published on his social networks, federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) proposed an open debate on the topic and the preparation of the text presented.
When defending the proposal, Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP) said that the PEC is based on, but that it does not even have a study of the impact it would have on the Brazilian economy.
