To fellow trade unions / labor unions

“Since early 2020 we have started a dialogue about the Job Creation Bill, both formally through Tripartite institutions, and informally. We have heard your aspirations, we have understood them. As far as possible, we will include these aspirations as part of this bill. At the same time we also receive aspirations from various circles. “

“I am trying to find a balance between protecting those who have worked and providing employment opportunities to millions of people who are still unemployed, who have no income and pride. It’s not easy, but we do our best.”

“I understand there are friends who are disappointed or not satisfied. I accept and understand. Remember, my heart is with you and with those who are still unemployed.”

“Regarding the national strike plan, I ask that it be calmed down again because the situation is clearly not possible to take to the streets, to gather. The Covid pandemic is still high, there is still no vaccine.”

“Reconsider the strike plan. Read in full this Job Creation Bill. There are lots of aspirations from friends that we accommodate. Regarding PKWT, outsourcing, termination requirements, all of them still refer to the old law. The issue of wages also still accommodates the existence of UMK. . If my friends want to be 100 percent accommodated, that’s not possible. But read the results. It will be seen that our side is bright. “

“Because many have been accommodated, the strike is irrelevant. Forget the plan. Don’t risk your life, your wife, husband and children at home. We must keep them healthy.”

“I invite us back to sit together. With the spirit to protect those who are working and give jobs to those who are still unemployed. I am eagerly waiting for the presence of friends at the dialogue table, not on the streets. I believe we can always find a middle ground that calms each other down. We are trying to light a candle and not blame the darkness. “

As reported, the DPR has ratified the Omnibus Law of the Work Creation Bill into law through a plenary meeting, Monday (5/10/2020). Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Azis Syamsuddin knocked on the hammer of confirmation after getting approval from all participants.

Chairman of the Legislation Body (Baleg) DPR Supratman Andi Agtas in his presentation at the plenary meeting explained, the Job Creation Bill was discussed in 64 meetings from April 20 to October 3, 2020. The Job Creation Bill consists of 15 chapters and 174 articles.

“Baleg together with the government and DPD have held 64 meetings: two work meetings, 56 panja meetings, and six thymus / timsin meetings which were held from Monday to Sunday, starting from morning to night,” said Supratman.

“Even during the recess period, we continue to hold meetings both inside and outside the building with the approval of the DPR leadership,” he said.
