Brazil’s Senate approved a constitutional amendment on Wednesday to reduce the country's maximum workweek from 44 to 40 hours without any reduction in salary.

The legislative move represents a major political victory for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who backed the reform and hopes the policy will boost his political standing.

The reduction in working hours comes ahead of an upcoming runoff election, where President Lula faces political opposition from Flávio Bolsonaro.
