Skaf: End of the 6×1 scale affects the country's competitiveness

The president of Fiesp (Federation of Industry of the State of São Paulo), Paulo Skaf, stated this Tuesday (26) that the end of the 6×1 scale affects the competitiveness of companies in Brazil.

In a press conference with journalists in Brasília, he also reported that there was a lack of dialogue with the government and the Chamber of Deputies on the PEC (Proposed Amendment to the Constitution), and criticized the accelerated processing of the text.

"In the Chamber of Deputies, there was a lack of dialogue. The speed and hasty way in which the project was handled, which was presented by the rapporteur, meant that the sectors were not heard. This is not how to discuss a topic of interest to the country, which affects people, companies and competitiveness", said Skaf.

The president of Fiesp also said that the country is losing companies to Paraguay, where the workload continues to be 48 hours a week, and that, according to him, around 500 companies have already transferred to the neighboring country.

"In China, they also have 48 hours by law, and an average of 34 hours, and they are wanting to increase the working hours because they see a competitiveness problem", he reported.

For Skaf, the issue of reducing working hours in Brazil was treated as an electoral flag in the Chamber of Deputies.
