DOC BETWEEN/NGURAH RAI BALI AIRPORT

DENPASAR - Stakeholder Relations Manager of Angkasa Pura (AP) I Airport I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali, Taufan Yudhistira, straightened out the viral news that hundreds of security were threatened with being fired for tattoos and piercings. The news was confirmed to be untrue.

Taufan said that the working relationship security ended because the contract period had expired. The contract period, which expires on December 31, 2021, is not only for aviation security but all lines.

"If they don't get fired, their contract will expire on December 31, 2021. Then on January 1, their new contract will have to be re-selection. Why re-selection, because we compare the number of our human resources with our operational needs as well as the condition of our company, like it or not, there must be the selection of people", said Taufan, when contacted on Tuesday, November 23.

According to Taufan, the rules for employees are not allowed to have tattoos and piercings for the current selection. The new rules are applied when Angkasa Pura I again opens recruits.

"Tattoos and piercings do not apply to them at this time. For those who are currently working with us, it does not apply to them. We will apply these tattoos and piercings later when we open recruits again", continued Taufan.

In addition, Taufan mentioned that the rules for employees not to have tattoos and piercings are indeed a requirement for prospective employees in state-owned companies.

"Why did friends come in before and they had tattoos and (pierced)? According to the story, it might have been in the past. Because their status as supporting staff might not pay attention to that. In the future, when Angkasa Pura I opens job vacancies for the future, right? At this time, we apply it to all prospective employees. Both permanent employees and supporting employees", he explained.

Previously reported, aviation security employees at Ngurah Rai Airport previously complained to members of the council because they were threatened with losing their jobs because the contract period was not extended by Angkasa Pura Supports, a subsidiary of AP I.

They came to the house of a member of the House of Representatives from the PDIP faction in the Bali constituency, Nyoman Parta. They are restless with AP I's circular regarding the prohibition on working for those who have tattoos and piercings.

"We will not renew the contract because there is a rationalization from our company. The way to carry out this rationalization is by re-selection. Three criteria cannot be tattooed, have piercings and the age limit is 45 years. Because it's a shame it's been a long time and now the selection is like this", said Agus Amik Santosa, who coordinated the meeting.
