Lula's Government Has Signatures to Speed Up PEC 6x1 in the Senate
Lula's government has gathered the necessary signatures to request a special calendar and accelerate the voting of the PEC that ends the 6x1 schedule in the Senate. The expectation is to vote on both rounds on Wednesday (14.out). The request will be submitted by a group of senators.
The government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) already has the necessary signatures to submit a request for a special calendar to accelerate the processing of the PEC (Proposal to Amend the Constitution) that ends the 6 X 1 work scale in the Senate. The request allows the proposal to be voted in two rounds on the same day. The expectation of the government is that the request will be approved to enable the vote of the PEC on Wednesday (14.Oct.2026).
Application will be submitted by senators
The leader of the PT in the Senate and spokesperson for the campaign, Camilo Santana, spoke about the matter on Tuesday (13.out), at the headquarters of Lula’s campaign on South Lake in Brasilia. According to him, a group of senators will submit the request. “It will be presented, it will not be me, it will be a set of senators. We are going to present so that we can vote tomorrow on the two rounds,” he said.
The strategy of delegating the presentation to senators may indicate an articulation to broaden political support for the proposal, although the source has not detailed the names of the parliamentarians involved. The statement came at a time of intense negotiation behind the scenes of the Senate.

How the Special Calendar Works
The special timetable is a way to speed up the processing of the proposal. Without the approval of the request, the Senate will be able to vote on the text in the first round on Wednesday (14.out), but the 2nd vote will be for another date, after compliance with the regimental deadlines. With the application approved, the two shifts can occur on the same day, shortening the process.
The PEC needs to receive at least 49 favorable votes in each shift to pass the Senate. This qualified quorum is required for changes in the Constitution, which makes political articulation essential for successful voting.
History of PEC processing
The government expected the proposal to be discussed in the week of the concentrated effort, from July 31 to September 4. However, the proposal was approved only in the CCJ (Comission of Constitution, Justice and Citizenship) due to lack of a quorum to vote in the plenary. This delay frustrated the initial plans and led the government to seek alternatives to unlock the agenda.
The two approached again through ministers Alexandre de Moraes and Cristiano Zanin. Lula negotiated with Alcolumbre to hold the vote. Members of the PT assess that the negotiation is due to the need for Alcolumbre to need support to re-elect president of the Casa Alta.
Impact on workers
The PEC that ends with the 6x1 scale proposes to change the working day, reducing the consecutive working days before a break. Currently, the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) allows days of up to 44 hours per week, which allows scales such as 6x1, in which the worker is free only one day after six working days.
Advocates of the proposal argue that the change improves the quality of life and health of the worker, while critics point to possible economic impacts for sectors such as commerce and services. The source did not detail the exact content of the text under discussion in the Senate, but the vote is awaited with expectation by trade union and business entities.
Next Steps in the Senate
If the special calendar request is approved, the PEC may be voted on in two rounds on Wednesday. Otherwise, only the first round will take place, and the second will be for a future session. Approval in each shift requires the vote of at least 49 senators.
The outcome of the negotiation between Lula and Alcolumbre will be decisive for the pace of the process. The source did not detail whether there is a close agreement for the vote on the request, but the government’s mobilization indicates optimism about accelerating the process.
The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to monitor the developments of this vote and its impacts on Brazilian workers.
