Deputy Paulinho da Força said Senate President Davi Alcolumbre guaranteed a vote on the constitutional amendment to end the 6x1 work schedule by June 15, 2024 [1].

The proposal seeks to eliminate the 6x1 work scale [1], a system that supporters of the amendment argue hampers workers' rights. If passed, the change would fundamentally alter labor conditions for millions of Brazilian employees who currently work six days for every one day of rest.

Paulinho da Força, who serves as the relator of the Dosimetry PL, said this on Thursday, June 14, 2024 [1]. He said that Alcolumbre guaranteed the vote would occur by the June 15 deadline [1].

However, other reports indicate a potential conflict regarding the legislation. Alcolumbre said that a section of the Dosimetry PL clashes with the Anti-Faction Law and removes certain items from the voting process [2]. This statement was reported on June 30, 2024 [2].

The discrepancy between the relator's claim of a guaranteed vote and the Senate President's concerns over legal clashes suggests tension within the Brazilian Congress. While the 6x1 schedule remains a focal point for labor advocates, the legal intersection with the Anti-Faction Law may complicate the legislative path for the constitutional amendment [2].

“Alcolumbre guaranteed to vote on the PEC ending the 6x1 schedule by 15 June.”

The conflicting accounts from Deputy Paulinho da Força and Senate President Davi Alcolumbre highlight the political instability surrounding labor reform in Brazil. If the amendment is delayed due to legal clashes with the Anti-Faction Law, it may signal a prioritization of security legislation over labor rights, potentially stalling the movement to end the 6x1 work schedule.
