JAKARTA - The United Pertamina Workers Union Federation (FSPPB) plans to carry out a strike from December 29 to January 7, 2022.

The head of the SPBU Workers Alliance, Dadan Suryana, assessed that the demands for a strike by the FSPPB were not appropriate. Moreover, their salaries are quite fantastic, inversely proportional to the salaries of gas station workers in the field.

"Their salaries are up to 70 million a month, and then making a strike like that, I think it's odd," said Dadan in an official statement, Tuesday, December 28.

Then, said Dadan, the demand for SOE Minister Erick Thohir to remove Pertamina President Director Nicke Widyawati from his position seemed very political.

"Really, what's the case, bro that has to be removed? So far, I don't think there's a problem," he concluded.

"Don't let this action happen because someone wants the position of Managing Director at Pertamina, don't be like that," he continued. Dadan thinks that Pertamina employees who are planning to go on strike should be grateful because they have received a very large salary. Meanwhile, for those who work at gas stations, their salaries are much below the UMR per month.

"They should be grateful, we only earn 2 million a month and some even below are grateful, we never complain," he said.

The man, who works daily shifts at a gas station in the West Jakarta area, suggested that his colleagues at the FSPPB think again about carrying out the strike. Moreover, as a result of the strike it is not impossible that it will have an impact on the decline in the company's performance.

"This is a place where we look for food, they have a good salary, a lot of savings. We here, whose salaries are mediocre, Pertamina was unable to work because they went on strike, what should we do? Think about it again, thank you very much. this is life," he said.
