Job Creation Law Rejections Continue

Employment law
Summary

The rejections against the Job Creation Law, passed by the House of Representatives on October 5, 2020, will continue. Students plan to resume their protests at the State Palace and several other places since they failed to get President Joko Widodo’s attention. The regional coordinator of the Jabodetabek-Banten Student Executive Board (BEM), Bagas Maropindra, revealed his disappointment because the protesters could only meet the president’s staffer, Aminuddin Ma’ruf.

“The person meeting the protestors was not the one we expected. He was only a millennial staffer, and we believed he was not the president’s representative,” Bagas explained on Friday (10/16). As a result, the students will hold another protest on October 20, 2020, demanding the Job Creation Law’s revocation through the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu). Meanwhile, four of the seven labor organizations involved in the legislative process of the Job Creation Law are preparing a judicial review to the Constitutional Court (MK). They believe the labor cluster is detrimental to workers.
