“For months, Flávio and his allies vigorously opposed and blocked this reform [which reduces the workweek from six days to five, also establishing a 40-hour workweek within 14 months], while Lula was fighting for it. This continued right up to the week before the vote; at the last minute, Flávio voted for it as a senator. But according to press reports, it appears that Flávio and his allies would try to roll it back if he wins, so that workers would have to take pay cuts for reduced hours.” @MarkWeisbrot www.thenation.com/article/world/brazil-ele...
