Lula government launches advertising in defense of the end of the 6×1 scale: ‘Time is right’

The government of the President of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), launched on Sunday night, the 4th, a new advertising piece to defend the end of the 6×1 scale. In production, the Executive says that having more time to rest is a worker’s right and that other labor achievements did not break the country, despite the fear of the financial market.

“Limiting the working day, guaranteeing weekly rest, vacations, maternity leave, were achievements that gave people time back. Against each of them they said that Brazil was going to break. It didn’t break and rights were guaranteed. Time is right”, states the advertising piece.

She also says that having just one day off does not guarantee a rest for workers and that this becomes a “privilege” that creates injustice.

“The fight here is for dignity, for the right to time, for mental health, for life beyond work”, says an excerpt. “Three out of every ten Brazilians with a formal contract work six to one. This means having just one day of rest. A single day, which in practice is not rest. It is washing clothes, cleaning the house, shopping, solving problems”, states the production.

The piece also argues that reducing working hours will lead to an improvement in productivity on the part of workers. “Rested workers produce more, make fewer mistakes, jobs last longer. An exhausted country does not grow. A country that breathes, evolves. More time means more health, more study, more life. The end of the six to one scale is time with the family”, he says.

The content was shared on government profiles on social media. On Instagram, in 15 hours, it received 3.6 thousand likes and 600 shares.
