The Committee on Constitution and Justice (CCJ) of the Senate meets this Wednesday to vote on the report of the proposed constitutional amendment (PEC) that provides for ending the 6x1 schedule, in which the worker works six days and has one day of rest. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 9am, and the PEC is the first item on the committee's agenda.
The rapporteur of the proposal, Senator Omar Aziz (PSD-AM), will present the opinion maintaining the text approved by the Chamber of Deputies. The goal of this decision is to avoid delays in the processing of the proposal, since changes could cause the PEC to return to the deputies for new analysis.
Despite the threat from opposition parties to use procedural maneuvers to obstruct the vote in the committee, the government leader in the Senate, Teresa Leitão (PT-PE), said there are enough votes to pass the PEC. This indicates that the government believes it has the necessary majority to advance the proposal.
