JAKARTA - Serious efforts to provide umbrella protection for independent workers continue to be encouraged by the BPJS Employment Jakarta Kelapa Gading Branch Office. This time, it was the turn of dozens of Dasawisma cadres in the Tanjung Priok District to be given socialization and socialization of the employment social security program directly at the Tanjung Priok District Office, North Jakarta, Tuesday, May 26.
This educational step is deliberately targeting Dasawisma cadres considering their position which is in direct contact with the lowest community structure. Dasawisma is considered as the right agent to disseminate the urgency of labor protection for the Non-Wage Sector (BPU).
Head of the Jakarta Kelapa Gading BPJS Employment Branch Office, Ivan Sahat H. Pandjaitan, explained how strategic the position of cadres is in succeeding this social protection program.
"We regard the PKK and Dasawisma cadres as the main pillars in empowerment at the family level because they understand the dynamics of residents in their respective environments. That is why this partnership is forged, in the hope that the cadres can become an extension of our hand to educate their closest ecosystems about the importance of social security," said Ivan Sahat, in his statement, Tuesday, June 9.
The activities that run interactively at the Tanjung Priok Sub-District Office received a positive response and direct escort from the government. The socialization was also attended by the Acting Tanjung Priok Sub-District, North Jakarta PPAPP Police Chief, and North Jakarta Community Empowerment Officer.
This collaboration is expected to be a catalyst in accelerating the realization of universal coverage of social security protection, especially in Tanjung Priok. Hopefully, after understanding the benefits of this program for themselves, the cadres can pass on this information to the surrounding environment, ranging from domestic helpers, stall traders, to ojol drivers.
"The presence of BPJS Employment in the informal sector is aimed at ensuring that people can work without fear. When there is a social and economic risk such as an accident at work or even death, we will take over the financial responsibility. This is important to ensure that heirs or families do not suddenly fall into poverty," concluded Ivan Sahat.
