The Senate approved this Wednesday (14), in two rounds, the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) that ends the 6x1 scale. The text guarantees workers two days off per week, without a reduction in salary.
The proposal received 75 votes in favor and one against in both rounds.
The three current senators from Pará voted in favor in both votes: See below:
🔎 As it was a change in the Constitution, the proposal needed the support of at least 49 senators in each of the two rounds.
Approval by a large majority occurs 11 days before the second round and represents a victory for President Lula (PT), who transformed the end of the 6x1 scale into a campaign flag.
In the 1st round:
Of the 78 senators present, 75 voted in favor and 1 against. The president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), does not vote.
The only vote against was from senator Hamilton Mourão (Republicanos-RS).
Sergio Moro (PL-PR) declared his presence, but did not vote.
Ciro Nogueira (Progressistas-PI), Márcio Bittar (PL-AC) and Rogério Marinho (PL-RN) were absent.
In the 2nd round:
The result was the same, with 75 votes in favor and 1 against, for Mourão. There were 79 senators present.
Moro declared his presence, but also did not vote.
Ciro Nogueira, absent in the 1st round, voted “yes”.
Dr. Hiran (Progressistas-RR), who voted “yes” in the 1st round, did not vote in the 2nd.
The PEC of the end of the 6x1 shift changes the Constitution to reduce weekly working hours from 44 to 40 hours. It also establishes that it is necessary to guarantee two days off with pay, one of them preferably on Sundays.
The big change is to guarantee that workers have two days of rest per week without the possibility of a salary reduction. One of these days should preferably be Sunday.
