Por décadas, o senador Paulo Paim persegue uma ideia simples e profunda: que o tempo de um trabalhador tem valor, e que a lei deve reconhecê-lo. A PEC 148, aprovada esta semana na comissão do Senado, propõe eliminar a jornada 6x1 e reduzir gradualmente a semana de trabalho para 36 horas até 2027, sem corte de salários. É uma batalha que começou na Constituinte de 1988 e que, a cada derrota, ensinou Paim algo sobre paciência, resistência e o ritmo lento da mudança social.

Significant regulatory change pending congressional approval in 2026 with implementation starting 2027. Likely to trigger business lobbying, potential wage-productivity negotiations, and possible exemptions for specific sectors. May require complementary policies on business competitiveness and automation incentives.
