JAKARTA - The PKS DPR faction facilitated the Confederation of Indonesian Workers Unions (KSPI) to have an audience regarding the demonstration that was held today in front of the DPR building.

At around 14.50 WIB, the DPR security apparatus approached the demonstrators and invited ten representatives from the labor unions to enter the building and meet with the PKS Faction.

"Alhamdulillah, today we are received by the PKS faction, they will explain and they are ready to be at the forefront as the entry point for this legislative review," said KSPI FSPMI Secretary General, Riden Hatam Azis in front of the DPR building, Monday, November 9.

While waiting for the hearing process, the demonstrating workers still gathered in front of the DPR building, Jalan Gatot Subroto. The masses listened to speeches rejecting the Job Creation Law by other labor representatives.

Based on VOI monitoring at the location of the action, a number of workers gathered at the gate of the DPR building, Jalan Jenderal Gatot Subroto, Central Jakarta. They brought a trade union flag and a commando car to give speeches.

A large banner filled the entrance gate of the DPR building. The banner reads, "Cancel the Omnibus Law, Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation, increase the UMP, UMK, and UMSK 2021".

Currently, there is no traffic engineering and road closure in front of the DPR Building. The mass of workers took part of the route on Jalan Jenderal Gatot Subroto. The traffic flow in front of the DPR Building became choked up because the lane was narrowed down to one road section.

In a previous speech, Riden said that his party demanded that the DPR submit a legislative review to revise the article on Job Creation which was deemed detrimental to workers.

Rigen said, the legislative review is possible. This is because a legislative review has also been conducted on Law Number 5 of 1997 concerning manpower.

"We demand that the DPR we do a legislative review. This can be done by the DPR RI by conducting a plenary again, with the agenda of canceling the Omnibus Law Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation," said Riden.
