The senator and national president of the Progressive Party (PP), Ciro Nogueira (PI), classified as “unfeasible” the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) that proposes the extinction of the 6×1 working day – in which employees work for six days in the week, taking one day off – for the 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.
“Many asked me about my opinion regarding the PEC that changes the 6×1 working day for workers to 4×3. I am in favor of any change that improves the lives of workers, but saying that this solution is viable at the moment our country is experiencing is a lie”, said Nogueira in , this Tuesday (12).

Entities criticize PEC for the 4×3 journey and warn of impacts on the job market
“It’s as good an idea as, for example, increasing the minimum wage to R$10,000. Who can be against it? Now, saying this is viable in today’s Brazil is lying to the population […] Reality cannot be dictated by a text”, said Nogueira.
Processing
The proposal reached the number of signatures necessary to begin processing in the Chamber of Deputies.
This Wednesday morning (13), the text already had 194 signatures. For the PEC to be filed, at least 171 signatures were needed.
Once this stage has been overcome, the proposal must be approved by committees and, in plenary, it requires the votes of three-fifths of parliamentarians in the Chamber and Senate, with two rounds of voting in each House.
When defending the proposal, Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP) said that the PEC is only based on scales adopted in other countries, but that it does not even have a study of the impact it would cause on the Brazilian economy.
Reviews
Analysts interviewed by Gazeta do Povo say that it could be a “trap” for companies and employees.
Politicians and representatives of entities have also used social media to criticize the project.
On Tuesday, the executive president of the Brazilian Association of Bars and Restaurants (Abrasel), Paulo Solmucci Júnior, called the proposal .
According to the businessman, the demand for bars and restaurants open seven days a week comes from customers and failing to serve them would create a financial problem.
