Brazilian Parliament approves Lula's work hour reduction
The Brazilian Parliament approved reducing the workweek from 44 to 40 hours and increasing paid leave days to two, in an effort to strengthen voters' support for President Lula da Silva ahead of the second round of the presidential election. These reforms, considered the most significant achievement for workers since the 1988 Constitution, followed a decisive vote in the Senate with a majority of 75 votes to one. The law aims to improve working conditions and boost public support, especially amid competition with the conservative candidate Bolsonaro.
