JAKARTA - Thousands of Holywings employees in Jakarta are threatened with termination of employment (PHK) due to the revocation of Holywings' business license by the DKI Provincial Government. Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD asked the Governor of DKI Anies Baswedan to find a solution.

The chairman of Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Mujiyono, suggested that Anies invite and accommodate Holywings employees to join as MSME actors assisted by JakPreneur. Jakpreneur is an entrepreneurial program of the DKI Provincial Government which was previously called OK OCE.

"The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government must minimize the bigger impact, one of which is by adding former Holywings employees to Jakpreneur," said Mujiyono in his statement, Wednesday, June 29.

This, continued Mujiyono, needs to be done in order to increase efforts to restore Jakarta's economy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, Mujiyono admitted that he supported the sealing of the twelve Holywings outlets in Jakarta because this place of business violated licensing because it did not have a bar business certificate. However, that does not mean Holywings is prohibited from improving the licensing process.

“If it turns out that they have complied with the applicable rules and regulations, there is nothing wrong with going back to running their business in Jakarta. However, it must still be emphasized to them to comply with the applicable rules and regulations," he said.

For information, the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan on Monday 27 June 2022 issued a decision to close and revoke Holywings' operational permit in Jakarta. In the revocation of business licenses for 12 Holywings outlets in Jakarta, one thing that is in the spotlight is the fate of its employees.

When the Indonesian economy begins to rise from adversity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the closure of Holywings certainly invites the consequences of the emergence of new unemployment. Of course, the closure of Holywings has had a significant impact on the workforce. In the @holywingsindonesia Instagram account on June 26, Holywings management stated that there are 3,000 employees plus their families who depend on work as employees of the company.

Responding to this, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria promised that the DKI Provincial Government would pay attention to the fate of Holywings Jakarta employees who are threatened with termination of employment (PHK) due to the revocation of their workplace permits. own family. People who are already working, eventually become victims. We will find the best solution later," said Riza at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, June 28.
