Seven party leaders in the Chamber of Deputies submitted a request to President Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB) asking for the withdrawal of amendment No. 1 to the PEC ending the 6x1 work schedule, which provides for a 10-year transition regime for the implementation of reduced working hours. The amendment was authored by Deputy Sérgio Turra (PP-RS) and is under analysis in the special committee reported by Leo Prates (Republicanos-BA). ✓

"Sete líderes partidários da Câmara dos Deputados assinaram uma nota conjunta em que solicitam ao presidente Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB) a retirada da tramitação de uma emenda que prevê um regime de transição de 10 anos"
"A emenda é de autoria do deputado Sérgio Turra (PP-RS)"
Leaders from MDB, Republicanos, PSDB-Cidadania, Podemos, União Brasil, PSD and PP — representing 272 deputies, close to the 308 votes needed to approve a constitutional amendment — alleged "doubts about the real effects of amendment No. 1" and requested its withdrawal "to avoid distortions that compromise the clarity of the debate," according to a joint statement released. ✓

"Os líderes de sete partidos na Câmara dos Deputados apresentaram um requerimento ao presidente da Casa, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), solicitando a retirada de uma das emendas protocoladas na PEC do fim da escala 6x1"
"Juntos, os partidos representados somam 272 deputados, número próximo dos 308 votos necessários para aprovar uma emenda constitucional"
Turra's amendment provides that the reduction of working hours be regulated by complementary law and maintains the current ceiling of 44 hours per week for categories considered essential. The text also authorizes an increase of up to 30% in paid overtime for sectors that adopt the new 40-hour workweek, allowing workweeks of up to 52 hours — a provision that generated protests from government-allied parliamentarians on social media. ✓

"A emenda prevê que a redução da jornada seja regulamentada por lei complementar e preserva o atual teto de 44 horas semanais para uma lista de categorias consideradas essenciais"
"Outro ponto da proposta autoriza, para os setores que aderirem à nova jornada de 40 horas, o acréscimo de até 30% de horas extras remuneradas"
The reading of the report on PEC 6x1 — which amends Article 7, XIII, of the Constitution to reduce the maximum workweek from 44 to 36 hours — was scheduled for this Wednesday (20) but was postponed to Monday (25) due to lack of agreement. The Chamber is discussing with the government a transition regime between two and five years, while the Executive opposes transition periods and fiscal compensations for affected sectors. ✓
