Labor Demo Rejecting Job Creation Perppu, Horse Statue Area Is Closed

JAKARTA - The Labor Party will hold a demonstration in front of the State Palace. The police will close the traffic flow in the Horse Statue area, Central Jakarta.

"The National Police closed the Horse Statue in the direction of Harmoni because there would be an opinion achievement around the Horse Statue," wrote the Instagram account @tmcpoldametro quoted by VOI, Saturday, January 14.

Then, motorists who will pass around the Horse Statue are asked to go through another route. So, people's journey is not disturbed.

"For road users to find other alternative routes," he said.

The masses who are members of the Labor Party will hold a demonstration in front of the State Palace on Saturday, January 14.

The act of expressing this opinion is a form of rejection of the Government Regulation in Lieu of the Job Creation Law (Perppu).

Labor Party President Said Iqbal said the action would start at 9.30 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. local time.

The issue raised in the action is to focus on rejection or disagree with the contents of Perppu No. 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation.

"This action raises one issue, namely rejecting or disagreeing with the contents of Perppu No. 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation," said Said Iqbal.

There are nine core problems that exist in the Job Creation Perppu. The nine issues are related to minimum wage arrangements, outsourced arrangements, severance pay arrangements, contract labor arrangements, layoff arrangements, TKA arrangements, criminal sanctions arrangements, work time arrangements, and leave arrangements.
