Explaining About The Determination Of The DKI UMP, Deputy Governor Riza Patria Asks Workers Not To Demo Excessively

JAKARTA - Deputy Governor (Vice Governor) of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, responded to the labor demonstrations that were continuously held in front of the office of the Governor of DKI Jakarta. He asked the workers to remain patient and not hold demonstrations excessively, especially at this time during the pandemic.

"Our workers ask that they don't have to respond with excessive demonstrations worried about causing clusters of transmission (COVID-19). Don't let large demonstrations infiltrate," said Riza in Jakarta, Tuesday, November 30.

"We understand that the labor demonstration is only for the welfare of the workers, we respect it, we respect it. Give us the opportunity to fight for the best for the interests of workers, the interests of entrepreneurs, and the interests of the community," he continued.

Riza also explained that the time for determining the 2022 Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) on November 20, 2021, had followed the rules given by the central government. However, he said, the DKI Provincial Government's decision to only increase the 2022 DKI Jakarta UMP by 0.85 percent actually drew strong protests from workers.

"From this provincial government, there is a deadline on the 20th, this refers to the existing formula. Even if it is included in the existing formula, you just have to enter it, you can't violate it, right. This authority lies with the central government, different from that in the province others," explained Riza. Riza said the conditions in DKI Jakarta were different from other regions. For example, in other provinces, there are regencies/cities when the provinces determine such as Jakarta, but in regencies and cities everything increases. "Look at West Java and Central Java, between provinces and regencies the cities are different. We can't be different because it's an administrative city, " he said.

Therefore, according to him, what is determined by the Provincial Government (Pemprov) will be in accordance with the regencies/cities. In other provinces what is determined by the province, then the determination by the district is different. Other provinces follow the existing provinces. But the city districts are following the existing agreement," said Ariza.
