What the PEC says
The proposal also provides for a reduction in the limit on the number of hours worked during the week – from the current 44 to 36.
“The work model we have today in Brazil is an extremely exploratory model. Workers do not have the opportunity to study, to improve themselves, to qualify professionally to change careers, for example. It is a scale that only serves the interest of the businessman and the employer, scrapping, making working life vulnerable and precarious in our country”, said Erika Hilton, in an interview with UOL.
“We propose a reduction in working hours. But you know very well that a PEC requires a specific number of signatures and, once these signatures are reached, we will have a rapporteur. We have a vision of which model to implement within the text of the PEC. But we are not working with this round, closed, as if there could be no space”, continues the parliamentarian.

Processing
As it is a constitutional amendment, the votes of ⅗ of the deputies and senators are required, in two rounds of voting in each House of Congress, for the PEC to be approved. In the Chamber, this represents 308 deputies; in the Senate, 49 senators.
Before reaching the plenary, the PEC needs to go through a long process in the Legislature. The text has its constitutionality analyzed by the Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ) and is then forwarded to a special commission.
Despite the possibility of the text beginning to be processed in Congress, Erika Hilton says she is aware that the chances of approval of the PEC, at least at this moment, are low.

According to the deputy, “the thermometer shows us that [a aprovação da PEC] It’s going to be very difficult.” “I don’t doubt anything about these people. They are able to pull a rabbit out of the hat, invent a fictional narrative and try not to commit to that agenda.”
What the Ministry of Labor says
Through a note released on Monday, .
“The MTE believes that this issue should be addressed in conventions and collective agreements between companies and employees. However, the department considers that reducing the 40-hour working week is fully possible and healthy, given a collective decision”, says the statement released by the ministry.

“The Ministry of Labor and Employment has been closely following the debate on the end of the 6×1 work schedule. This is a topic that requires the involvement of all sectors in an in-depth and detailed discussion, taking into account the specific needs of each area, as there are sectors of the economy that operate uninterruptedly”, the note continues.
