Durigan vuelve a criticar la compensación por el fin de la jornada laboral 6x1

El ministro de Hacienda, Dario Durigan, reiteró este martes su oposición a cualquier compensación financiera para las empresas debido a la reducción de la jornada laboral en Brasil.

Durante una audiencia pública en la comisión especial de la Cámara de Diputados, Durigan afirmó estar "radicalmente en contra" de compensaciones como la desgravación de las nóminas. Argumentó que la propiedad de las horas de trabajo pertenece al empleado, no al empleador. El ministro reconoció que algunos sectores podrían enfrentar mayores costos, pero declaró que el impacto no será generalizado. Según él, la reducción de la jornada laboral, como la transición al horario 5x2, ya ha sido absorbida por la economía y podría impulsar la productividad, de manera similar a los efectos de los aumentos del salario mínimo. Durigan también señaló que poner fin al horario 6x1 debería reducir la informalidad al hacer que el trabajo formal sea más atractivo. La comisión especial continúa sus debates, con nuevas audiencias programadas para los próximos días.
