Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Entrepreneur assess the demands of various parties for President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) issued a government regulation in place of the law (Perppu) to cancel the law all the law Ciptaker is a throwback.
Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) vice president for labor, Bob Azzam, admitted that he regretted these demands. This is because the Omnibus Law, which has been debated for a long time, is seen as a reform of the business and investment system as a whole.
He assessed that through the Ciptaker Act, workers were actually getting more benefits. Bob asked the workers to view the bill’s design as reform.
So, you cannot see point by point, but the objective as a whole. He gave an example of a reduction in severance pay that had been a rejection.
According to him, despite the severance pay being cut, the government provides social security compensation through the Job Loss Security (JKP) program, which aims to protect victims of layoffs.
He said workers should have various kinds of protection, not just severance pay.
“Don’t let it (issue a Perppu). In a way, will the period keep going backwards? It’s just what is not being fixed, if the Perppu goes backwards,” he said. CNNIndonesia.com, Friday (9/10).
“You have to see it as a whole and as a transformation, simply changing the period of protection for workers with severance pay,” he added.
In addition, he asked workers to see the benefits of the Ciptaker Omnibus Law more broadly, not only in the regulation of labor issues. He also said that the law can facilitate investment income to absorb more labor.
“The Omnibus Law is not only about work, but about simplifying licenses. The weather in Perppu, that’s good for everyone,” he said.
Also, the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Manpower, Antonius J Supit, said that Perppu can only be issued if there is an urgent crisis.
In this case, Antón said that if it could still be evaluated or studied either through negotiations with the government or by requesting a judicial review from the Constitutional Court (MK), then it cannot be said that it is urgent until Perpu is issued.
He asked the workers to be wiser in their demands.
“Is this critical? In my opinion, this is critical or not from what point of view. Are there opportunities to evaluate it? There is still the Constitutional Court, how come we don’t want to study it?” he said.
In addition, he asked the workers to look at the data set out in the Law on the high need for work that so far has not been met. Citing the law, it is stated that the number of workers who work partially or do not work is still quite high, that is, 45.84 million.
In detail, 7.05 million unemployed, 8.14 million underemployed, 28.41 million part-time workers and 2.24 million new workers. This amount is 34.3 percent of the total workforce.
Meanwhile, job creation continues to hover around 2.5 million a year. Meanwhile, the total population working in informal activities was 70.49 million people or 55.72 percent of the total workforce.
These data tend to decline with the greatest decline in the status of temporary worker-assisted firms. Anton values that the benefits of the Ciptaker Act are one of those that is absorbing labor, much greater than certain points such as the cut in severance pay that has been reported.
“Don’t be selfish, there are still many of our brothers who need work. Our severance pay is also one of the highest in the world, it is still high,” he said.
Both Bob and Anton considered information distortion and piecemeal understanding to be the main trigger for worker rejection. Therefore, they believe that if workers want to understand the Omnibus Law as a whole and study it together, an agreement will be reached.
“The reform in Germany alone took 3 years, was enacted, fixed again along the way. If we don’t go through it, how do we know the problem?” close Bob.
