              KSPI PRESSES FOR EXTENDING BSU AND PRE-EMPLOYMENT CARD PROGRAM

              Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI) President Said Iqbal urged the government to
              extend  the  Wage  Subsidy  Program  (BSU)  and  Pre-employment  Card  social  safety  net  since
              workers are still reeling from the impacts of COVID-19.

              "We  truly  encouraged  and  hoped  that  President  Jokowi  would  extend  the  BSU  and  Pre-
              employment Program and not discontinue it," Iqbal remarked during a virtual press conference
              observed from here on Wednesday.
              According to Iqbal, the end of COVID-19 cannot yet be estimated since the likelihood of the
              number of cases rising is high.

              Moreover, economic growth is yet in the process of recovery, with the purchasing power for
              workers still impacted.

              In relation to the social security net for workers, such as BSU, he expressed optimism that the
              scope of distribution would be expanded and would not only include regions with the status of
              Public Activity Restriction (PPKM) level 3 and level 4.

              This is since regions categorized as PPKM level 3 and level 4 had decreased owing to the hard
              work of the government and people, he stated.
              The BSU should also prioritize workers, people terminated from work, daily salary workers, and
              employees whose income cannot cover their living expenses, he explained.

              "Workers in this category should be guaranteed to receive BSU," Iqbal expounded.
