Job Creation Law, Workers’ Protests VS American Support
Rejection against the Job Creation Law (UU) continues. A number of trade unions will stage other rallies at the Constitutional Court and the State Palace on November 2, 2020, after the omnibus law is promulgated or comes into effect. Chairman of the Confederation of Indonesian Workers Unions (KSPI), Said Iqbal, said the information he received stated that President Joko Widodo would sign the Job Creation Law on October 28, 2020. KSPI and several labor unions will stage simultaneous rallies nationwide.
Iqbal also said that the KSPI and 32 federations/confederations of labor unions would file for judicial review to the Constitutional Court on November 2, 2020. "The national labor actions on November 2 will be carried out simultaneously in 24 provinces and 200 regencies/cities followed by hundreds of thousands of workers. Thousands of others will take part in actions at the Constitutional Court and the Presidential Palace," he said in a press release on Monday (10/26).
