Narasumber
neutral - Said Iqbal (KSPI president) As of today, we ask the permission [of the authorities and
factory owners] for these three days to use our constitutional right [to express] our strong
rejection of the passage of the job creation bill

negative - Kamal (Worker) Workers certainly are afraid of COVID-19, but we are more scared of
the omnibus law, which would kill workers slowly

positive - Nining Elitos (the chairwoman of the Congress of Indonesia Unions Alliance) During
the COVID-19 pandemic, the government should give their attention to the issue of unilateral
layoffs suffered by workers. The House […] should also oversee [the use of the government’s]
budget to handle COVID-19 and recover the economy

neutral - Said Iqbal (KSPI president) Why, in this difficult time, [has the government and the
House] placed more importance on passing a far-reaching regulation that affects many sectors?

neutral - Harijanto (Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) chair) There are idle funds
managed by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, which receives premiums paid by employers and employees.
Not all of the funds [managed by BPJS] are going to be claimed [ by workers]

neutral - Harijanto (Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) chair) The funds are available.
It is up to the government to think about allowing it to be reallocated [for JKP].
positive - Hariyadi Sukamdani (Apindo chairman) We hope this is a new beginning to boost our
economic growth and to make it more equitable in the future

neutral - Hariyadi Sukamdani (Apindo chairman) More equitable economic growth means that
jobs can be created in large numbers, therefore the [benefits] of the economic growth can be
enjoyed as widely as possible.

positive - Usman Hamid (Amnesty International Indonesia executive director) The law threatens
human rights and will have a regressive effect on human rights in Indonesia, [in particular] on
the right to work and rights at work

positive - Usman Hamid (Amnesty International Indonesia executive director) The law will give
employers dangerous leeway to massively exploit workers across the country.
