The House of Representatives and labor unions have agreed not to include several proposed
revisions in a disputed labor cluster of the controversial omnibus bill on job creation, amid
persistent calls for the government and House to drop the bill.
House Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad said a team consisting of members of the bill’s
working committee from the House Legislation Body (Baleg) and the unions’ representatives had
agreed not to include the proposed amendments that contradicted Constitutional Court rulings,
which were final and binding.
JOB BILL ARTICLES HARMFUL TO WORKERS TO BE DITCHED
The House of Representatives and labor unions have agreed not to include several proposed
revisions in a disputed labor cluster of the controversial omnibus bill on job creation, amid
persistent calls for the government and House to drop the bill.
House Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad said a team consisting of members of the bill’s
working committee from the House Legislation Body (Baleg) and the unions’ representatives had
agreed not to include the proposed amendments that contradicted Constitutional Court rulings,
which were final and binding.
“Some of the provisions are regarding fixed-term employment agreements, wages, severance
pay, employment relations, layoffs, dispute settlements, social security and others,” the Gerindra
politician said in a press conference on Friday.
The House will include substantial points into the bill’s problem inventory list (DIM) to be further
discussed with the government in the bill’s deliberation.
Article 154 of the bill, a copy of which was obtained by The Jakarta Post, eliminates employers’
obligation to pay workers who are laid off due to the company’s efficiency efforts, stipulated in
Article 164 of Manpower Law No. 13/2003.
