Federal deputies Fernanda Melchionna (PSOL-RS) and Sâmia Bomfim (PSOL-SP) presented an amendment to the project that ends the provision for mothers to have a 15% reduction in working hours in addition to what is established for the population as a whole.
If the working hours were reduced from 44 to 40 hours, for example, the working hours of women with children up to 12 years of age would fall to 34 hours per week, without a salary reduction. The benefit would also apply to mothers of people with disabilities, regardless of age.
In their justification, the parliamentarians state that “for workers who are mothers, the problem of time has an additional, structural and deeply unfair dimension”.
Furthermore, they proposed an amendment to prohibit the dismissal of people hired under the CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws) and rehiring as legal entities, which have fewer labor rights.
The objective, say the psolists, is for it to have concrete effects for workers, without there being any type of fraud on the part of businesspeople.
