JAKARTA - The President of the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI), Said Iqbal asked the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to remove the Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Ida Fauziyah from his position.
Said assessed that the policy taken by the Minister of Manpower was not in favor of the workers. This hurts the hearts of workers in Indonesia.
One of them is the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower (Permenaker) of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2022 concerning Procedures and Requirements for Payment of Old Age Security Benefits (JHT).
In the regulation, it is explained that JHT funds can only be disbursed when the worker has entered the age of 56 years. According to him, this regulation will make it difficult for workers who lose their jobs before the age of 56.
“Remove the minister of manpower. But this is certainly President Jokowi's pro-great right to remove workers," Said told reporters at the Manpower Ministry Office, South Jakarta, Wednesday, February 16.
"The first reason is that the Minister of Manpower No. 2 of 2022 signed the Minister of Manpower," he continued.
Said assessed that the policy taken by the Minister of Manpower was against the rules of the Indonesian President, Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
"The fact is that legally Permanaker 2 in 2022 is contrary to Government Regulation number 60 of 2015 which was signed by the President of Indonesia, Jokowi," he stressed.
It is known, Government Regulation (PP) Number 60 of 2015 concerning Amendments to Government Regulation Number 46 of 2015 concerning the Implementation of the Old Age Security Program has been signed by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Jokowi.
In the PP, the President emphasized the abolition of the provision for payment of JHT benefits at a minimum age of 56 years.
It is emphasized in this PP, JHT benefits for Participants who reach retirement age as referred to in Article 26 paragraph (1) letter a, are given to Participants.
