JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Rosan P. Roeslani told the discussion about the Omnibus Law on the Job Creation Law which also involved several labor confederations. According to Rosan, at that time there were two labor confederations that withdrew or walked out .

"I remember, in December, we also invited the workers' association to discuss the Omnibus Law on Work Creation, because in December we also had a presentation at the Indonesian Parliament," said Rosan on the Youtube Channel Bambang Soesatyo, quoted on Friday, October 16.

Rosan explained that the Omnibus Law discussion was held almost every day for three weeks of meetings. At that time, each trade union appointed 15 labor representatives.

"Meanwhile, Kadin sent 15 people. Representatives met every day from 09.00 to 21.00 for three weeks," he explained.

Rosan said that during the discussion of the Omnibus Law, two of the six major confederations stated that they had resigned or walked out because they still wanted to adhere to the Labor Law Number 13. The confederations, namely the Confederation of Indonesian Workers Unions (KSPI) and the Confederation of All Indonesian Workers Unions (KSPSI).

"From Mas Iqbal KSPI and Mas Andi Gani KSPSI, they walked out. They still want to refer to Law 13/2003 without any changes," said Rosan.

And the other four confederations, said Rosan, there were those who responded in agreement, agreed with the notes. But there are also those who disagree.

The head of the Omnibus Law Task Force said that the discussion of the Omnibus Law on the Job Creation Law was transparent. According to him, the drafting of the broomstick law did not violate the rules even though it was done in a short time.

Rosan regretted that the lack of socialization related to the discussion made many people think that the drafting of the Omnibus Law on the Job Creation Law was closed. In addition, he also denied that the Omnibus Law settlement was done in a hurry.

"The government gave an initial target of three months for completion of the Omnibus Law. However, this target was extended by getting a lot of input from various parties to complete it. We also received input from associations, and other stakeholders. From December, it means 8 months of work," he said. "said Rosan.
