Key facts

Brazil's Senate approved a constitutional amendment to reduce the workweek from six days to five, changing the hours from 44 to 40 per week. This reform, supported by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, comes just before the presidential runoff election. The change is expected to benefit workers and may provide a legislative win for Lula.
