The Government and Parliament continue to push for simplification of regulations through the Omnibus Law approach . The Omnibus Law is believed to be able to facilitate all licenses that were previously hampered by overlapping regulations. Reflecting on this conclusion, the Omnibus Law Law urges it to be applied in Indonesia.
For those who already know the basic concept of the Omnibus Law, it will certainly be very supportive. Not only will it simplify all the regulations and the chaos of the existing rules. However, it also triggers national economic growth and resolves the nation’s problems. But there are still gaps for people, groups and parties to give a different attitude. The problem is, this criticism is not quite right. Because the question is out of topic, fortunately the government is always reluctant to reiterate, what is the concept of Omnibus law which is predicted will make Indonesia progress.
Previously, Public Policy Observer and Legal Practitioner, Dwi Saputro Nugroho also welcomed the government’s plan to implement the Omnibus Law concept. The policy is considered appropriate because it will improve the country’s economy, especially from the investment sector.
He said the Omnibus Law was a policy in the form of a law (Law) that was made to target one big issue and it was possible to revoke or amend several Laws at the same time so as to be more concise and simpler. According to Dwi, the use of the omnibus law scheme seems to be able to answer the problem of overlapping legislation in Indonesia.
Nevertheless, it still requires anticipation and careful preparation so that the policy does not harm the country’s economy. Considering, there is a need for mega discussion and involving all parties to produce careful planning.
He said that currently there were still a number of central and regional government policies that seemed irregular, resulting in stagnation in investment. Therefore, it is necessary to have the application of the Omnibus Law so that all issues relating to policies in order to improve the country’s economy. Dwi Nugroho hopes that there will be no more obstacles related to investment licensing both from within and outside the country so that the country’s economy remains stable.
Meanwhile, the mass of workers who are members of the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI) once again held an action to reject the Cipta Karya omnibus law in front of the Indonesian Parliament Building. And the Legislative Body (Baleg) of the DPR expressed its readiness to accept the aspirations of the workers.
Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Legislative Body Achmad Baidowi (Awiek) stated that if this was an expression of legitimate aspirations to be delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Act , the important thing was not to end anarchist action.
Awiek said that he would listen to the complaints of the workers. However, until now, the draft omnibus law from the government has not been received by the DPR. This is because it is still waiting for priority Prolegnas to be approved.
The Draft Law (RUU) on Employment Creation which is included as one of the Omnibus Laws, is suspected to be rejected by workers. The reason is, this bill is considered not in favor of workers, but employers. One of the narratives circulating , the law does not include the right of maternity leave for women workers.
Previously, as Mahardhika Women’s National Coordinator, Mutiara Ika Pratiwi, firmly rejected the Employment Copyright Bill that would be ratified by the Indonesian Parliament. He considered the bill’s strategy by means of Omn Ibus Law did not favor women.
One of Ika’s concerns is related to maternity leave rights. According to him, the omnibus law did not clearly explain the special facilities obtained by women workers who were undergoing childbirth.
In Law 13 of 2003, women’s rights are stated normative, (workers) giving birth get a leave of up to 1.5 months before and after giving birth. On omnibus law he didn’t find it.
From the draft law on the Omnibus law, regulations on maternity leave for women workers are indeed not included. However, this does not mean that the omnibus law will abolish the rules contained in the previous law. Because, the Omnibus Law is a Law that was created specifically to target a particular issue in the previous Law. Dal am this, the omnibus law Copyright Employment focus on the issue of job creation.
In addition, from a number of reports, in Chapter VII concerning the Closing Provisions of the Employment Copyright omnibus, Article 82 stated in the Manpower Act does not include articles that are revoked or removed.
So, the conclusion is that before launching a protest against a problem, it is better to check first. Is not the state also provides access for citizens to convey all aspirations a. However, it is still hoped not to prioritize the attitude of the grusa-grusu in acting. Furthermore, the application of law Omnibus scheme deserves to be supported because the purpose and the main focus is the national distribution of welfare and improving the economy of nationalism nal .
