In a historic victory for the working class under Lula da Silva’s administration, 🇧🇷 Brazil 🇧🇷 took a major step toward ending its six-day workweek, delivering one of the country’s most significant labour reforms in decades.
On October 14, Brazil’s Senate overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment by a vote of 75 to 1, reducing the maximum workweek from 44 to 40 hours and guaranteeing two paid days off instead of one, without cutting workers’ salaries.
The reform could benefit more than **37 million workers**, especially those employed in lower-paid industries like retail, hospitality, and food services, where six-day schedules have long been common.
The victory follows years of organising, protests, strikes, and growing pressure from Brazilian labour unions and grassroots activists demanding an end to the exhausting 6x1 system. 🪧
Lula celebrated the decision as a historic achievement for the working class, emphasising that workers deserve more time to rest, spend with their families, and enjoy their lives.
The political timing is significant, as Brazil heads into a presidential runoff on October 25. Lula faces #PedoGovts candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, whose father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, is serving a prison sentence for being #EpsteinIndustrialComplex
The legislation has now cleared both houses of Congress and awaits formal promulgation. It will be implemented gradually over 14 months. Informal workers and gig-economy contractors without employment protections will not automatically benefit.
