Decreased protection

Contacted separately, Secretary General of the All Indonesia Workers Organization (OPSI) Timboel Siregar added, if the Omnibus Law on Job Creation was passed into law, it would clearly be very detrimental to workers.

He said that protection for workers would decrease.

Timboel is worried that the company will open the contract system as widely as possible outsourcing. This option, according to him, will cause certainty for workers to be lost.

“The constitutional right to get a decent job will be degraded by this Job Creation Law,” Timboel told Kompas.com, Sunday (4/10/2020).

In addition, Timboel considered, there were a number of things that were burdensome for workers. Namely, the rules related to work agreements for a certain period of time (PWKT), minimum wages, layoff process and compensation, and job loss benefits (JKP) are submitted to the Government Regulation (PP), not laws.

According to him, the issue related to workers’ rights should be the DPR, which is the people’s representatives, to ensure it, not just leave it to the government.

“I think that norms related to constitutional rights should be regulated in laws, not in PP,” said Timboel.
