The president of the special commission on the end of the 6×1 working day, Alencar Santana (PT-SP), he stated this Tuesday (28), in an interview with CNN Brazilthat the collegiate evaluates the possibility of a gradual transition by sectors.
For Santana, the adaptation capacity of large industries is different from that of small businesses, such as bakeries, butchers e hortifrutis. According to him, the commission must seek a model that does not “compromise the survival of smaller businesses”.
“We’re going to have to talk and debate a lot about this, because the capacity of a small business to withstand a faster change is less than that of a company that has many workers. We will take these realities into consideration to see what to do, whether a bigger transition or another type of measure so as not to compromise the survival of this smaller business,” he told Jornal CNN Prime Time.
The president of the collegiate also stated that there will be no automatic compensation to the sectors. He recalled that, in 2019, under the government Jair Bolsonarothe Social Security reform was approved without compensation to workers.
“Just because the worker will gain something, does not mean that the economic sector will lose. Why does there now have to be immediate compensation to the economic sectors, some of which already receive strong subsidies? Logically, we will need to understand the reality of each sector and the size of the companies to decide what to do. But it cannot be automatic, especially because, when the worker lost, there was no compensation for him”, he stated.
