Între două tururi ale alegerilor prezidențiale, o țară reduce programul săptămânal de lucru

The Brazilian Parliament approved a constitutional reform reducing work hours from 44 to 40 per week, allowing two rest days. This change, supported by President Lula, aims to boost his electoral chances against conservative Flavio Bolsonaro. The reform was passed with overwhelming support in the Senate after being ratified by the Chamber of Deputies. Lula views this as a significant victory for workers since 1988. Despite initial opposition, Bolsonaro ultimately voted in favor, acknowledging public demand for the change. The reform will be gradually implemented over 14 months, amidst a competitive electoral landscape.
