We will see if this helps Lula overcome Flavio Bolsonaro's lead in the election: www.facebook.com/rodrigo.ibarra.899363/ ... MzFEx4nYLl

It was about the Brazilian senate approving a constitutional amendment ending the six-day workweek with no reduction in pay. A newer article is at

Thanks for this, Frank. That is exciting news for the Brazilian working class, to get the work week reduced from six days to five. The PT has been trying for decades to get such a law passed. The fact that Lula got it passed this week should generate some enthusiastic voting for him. The article also mentions large street demos in support of Lula and the PT, one on Copacabana Beach of a million people. News media in the U.S. was quick to report Bolsonaro's lead in the first round, but they've been silent on Brazil since. The second round is in one week.
