| CNN/AP: Venezuela to introduce six hour work day Forwarded by a keen eyed supporter of shorter working time:
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) The government of President Hugo Chavez is planning to establish a 6-hour workday under forthcoming legislation.
Labor Minister Roberto Hernandez announced Monday that he would present a proposed bill before the end of the year to reduce the workday from 8 to 6 hours, improve employee benefits and establish more forceful penalties for businesses that violate labor laws.
The presidents allies hold a majority within the National Assembly and most bills proposed by Chavezs administration are approved without considerable delay.
Chavez presented the same proposal as part of a constitutional reform package that voters rejected last December.
Before the vote, some business owners warned that reducing the workday would force them to cut jobs or close down. |
