What is clear, he said, is that the government through the National and tripartite Wage Council has continued to have meetings even since March 2025.
"Until now, of course, we have seen all aspects and also considered the results of the Constitutional Court's decision (Mahkamah Konstitusi) Number 168/PUU-XXI/2023, plus the need for a decent life (KHL), now this is being considered," said Wamenaker. .
He said the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) would convey the results of the decision on the UMP which was absolutely certain and there were no more changes or improvements.
Regarding disasters that occurred in a number of areas, he continued, this condition was also one of the factors in determining and announcing the UMP.
"Yes, one of the factors too, but in certain areas, that's why the wage scale does not decrease all, so 38 provinces have increased by a certain percentage, not that basically," said Wamenaker.
