Chilean legislators have overwhelmingly passed a bill reducing the country’s work week from 45 to 40 hours in a bid to improve the quality of life and rights of workers in the South American nation.
The measure passed the lower house of Chile’s Congress on Tuesday by a margin of 127 to 14 after being anonymously approved by the Senate several weeks ago. Chile’s left-wing President Gabriel Boric, who is expected to sign the bill into law, hailed it as a “pro-family project that aims at the good living of all” in a Twitter post.
