Summary

Luciano Hang, owner of the Havan retail chain and a prominent right-wing figure in Brazilian business, launched a sarcastic campaign promoting a 4x3 work scale (4 days work, 3 days off) as a mock response to the Lula government's proposed constitutional amendment (PEC) that would abolish the current 6x1 scale and reduce the weekly workweek from 44 to 40 hours. Hang criticizes the proposal, warning of inflation, increased costs, and economic hardship, and is reportedly considering opening stores in Paraguay as a contingency.
