Jakarta –
Various masses, from the National Anti-Corruption Alliance (ANAK) NKR, to the 212 Alumni Brotherhood (PA) took action today around the Merdeka Palace, in central Jakarta, to reject the Omnibus Law on the Cipta Kerja Law (UU).
The union did not participate in the demonstration. For the moment, the workers did not want to take action against the Job Creation Law in Jakarta. Until Friday (10/16) the action will only take place in the regions.
There are at least 3 reasons why this was done. As follows:
1. Fear of anarchists
The unions of the Confederation of All Trade Unions of Indonesia (KSBSI) did not want to join the other protesters for fear of ending up being anarchists like last Thursday (8/10).
“We canceled the palace because there are other elements that will take action today, not KSBSI. I am afraid there will be anarchists burning, we will not teach it,” said KSBSI president Elly Rosita. detikcom, Tuesday (10/13/2020).
The president of the Indonesian Trade Union Confederation (KSPI), Said Iqbal, also said. He admitted that he did not participate in today’s demonstration. “No (participate in the rally today),” he said.
2. I just want the law to create jobs to be canceled
Actions will only be carried out in a few regions to convey to the government their aspirations against the Employment Creation Law.
“Our members direct them to act in their respective regions, at the DPRD office or the governor’s office in Banten, Riau, Medan and in various provinces. Our aim is only to reject the law that is formally flawed and not to overthrow the president. “Elly said.
3. Directly demand the Employment Creation Law before the Constitutional Court.
In addition to taking action in the regions, the workers plan to file a judicial review of the Employment Creation Law with the Constitutional Court (MK). This will be done after President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) signs the law.
His party is currently waiting for the final official draft of the Employment Creation Law to be studied and presented to the Constitutional Court.
“The option is a judicial review, we are waiting for the original draft, there are 900, 1,035, 1,052, the last one is 815 (pages), said because there is no law number so it is not possible. We will study it for later socialization to workers and community, “said KSPI President Said Iqbal.
