Brasilia, October 16 (Hibya) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he had approved a law providing for the end of the six-day work, one-day rest system, calling for the protection of workers' hard-won gains.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva announced the approval of a law providing for the abolition of the system of six working days followed by one day off. Describing October 16 as a historic day for Brazil, Lula characterized the measure as an important achievement for society.
In his statement, Lula said, "October 16 is a historic day for Brazil. Today, we approved the law providing for the end of the six-day work, one-day rest system. This is a historic achievement for Brazilian society."
