Brazil labor reform and social mobilization
Overview
Mass social mobilizations in Brazil, driven by youth-led movements and various social groups, have pressured the government regarding educational rights and labor regulations. These demonstrations specifically targeted the 6x1 work scale.
In response to this pressure, the Brazilian Senate approved and promulgated PEC 221, a constitutional amendment designed to end the 6x1 work scale. The amendment reduces the maximum weekly working hours from 44 to 40 without reducing salaries, establishing a 14-month transition period. While the reform is seen by some as necessary, others have raised concerns regarding potential increases in production costs and logistical challenges for micro and small businesses.
