Chilean Congress Passes 40-Hour Work Week Bill.

Chile's Congress has passed a bill reducing the work week from 45 to 40 hours, which is expected to be signed into law by President Gabriel Boric. The law will be implemented over five years and aims to improve the quality of life and rights of workers in the country. The bill prevents businesses from reducing salaries and allows workers to switch to a four-day work week. However, it does not apply to the informal sector of Chile's economy. Some businesses have criticized the initiative, while others have welcomed the change.
