The draft work copyright law, which mainly regulates labor clusters, still causes multiple interpretations among workers, even leading to rejection. This is because it involves various things ranging from cooperation agreements to wages. In the draft document the Work Cipta Karya Bill received by CNBC Indonesia is 1,028 pages thick. The labor cluster is discussed in Chapter IV article 89 which adds, changes and deletes several articles contained in the previous Labor Law (Law No. 13 of 2003).
When this draft law was published by the government, many rumors circulated that made the world of shaking the labor force that led to demonstrations. Workers who take to the streets question the points such as salaries calculated based on hours, outsourcing policy, until the time off is said to be abolished.
Is it true that all of these things are in the Work Creation Bill which uses the omnibus technique in its making? In general, labor unrest lies in four main problems, namely work agreements, especially related to specific work time agreements (PWKT), outsourcing issues, work time issues and wages.
However, it should be underlined that everything is just an issue. As happened before, the government here is trying a new policy concept that is considered to benefit all parties, especially the workers. The aim is to improve the conduciveness of the Indonesian economy so that investors are willing to invest their capital and develop the national economy.
