says he spoke personally with the presidents of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), and the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), and gave them technical data about reducing working hours.
“I also made myself available, defending an in-depth debate on the topic, which, if poorly conducted, could cause serious problems for the country’s economy”, declared Alban.
The subject has gained relevance since it became part of the Lula government’s agenda. A proposed constitutional amendment on the topic is being processed in the Chamber, and Motta’s intention is to put it to a vote in May.
The business sector is concerned about the costs that the change would entail for large, medium and small companies.
Alban says that the CNI “wants to participate and contribute to a technical debate that is far from electoral interests.” “The responsible participation of senators and deputies is very important,” he states.
On the 24th, the confederation will present the industry’s legislative agenda to the Chamber of Deputies, with the priority projects defended by the sector.
