In 'stream' with Westcol, Álvaro Uribe assured that the reduction of the workweek was his authorship: Petro responded

TL;DR

The law reducing the workweek to 42 hours was introduced gradually through Law 2101 of 2021.
Álvaro Uribe claims the initiative for the workweek reduction was his during his time in the Senate, calling it his 'last effort in Congress' and a Centro Democrático project.
President Petro, in a stream with Westcol, stated he reduced the workweek, leading to Uribe's public response.
Petro later responded to Uribe by questioning his past labor policies, specifically mentioning a law that he claims extended workdays and removed overtime pay.
The debate has shifted from the authorship of the 42-hour workweek law to a broader discussion of labor policies under different governments, including labor costs, overtime, and productivity.
The gradual reduction allows companies to adjust shifts, workloads, and productivity without reducing salaries, while ensuring mandatory rest days and labor rights.
