How is the flexible work project supported by Bolsonaro that goes against the PEC to end the 6x1 schedule

BBC News Brasil2 September 2026 at 08:52

A bill that establishes flexible work is being supported by Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, positioning itself against the PEC that proposes ending the 6x1 schedule. The proposal allows workers to freely define their own work schedule.

Critics of the project nicknamed it the "Slavery PEC," pointing out concerns about worker exploitation. On the other hand, proponents of the proposal praise the freedom provided to workers to define their own schedules.

The bill is being processed in the Federal Senate and generates intense debate about working conditions in Brazil. The flexible work proposal represents an alternative to the PEC that aims to end the six-day work and one-day rest schedule.
