Minister of Manpower Ida Fauziyah gave a speech at the 2022 LKS Bipartite Award event in Jakarta, Thursday (20/10/2022) (ANTARA)

Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Ida Fauziyah requested that companies form a Bipartite Cooperation Institution (LKS) as a forum for communication between employers and workers for harmonious industrial relations. "The Bipartite LKS must be a relationship that occurs between the two parties and how important it is for us to build awareness of the importance of this Bipartite LKS," said Minister of Manpower Ida Fauziyah at the 2022 LKS Bipartite Award award ceremony in Jakarta, Antara, Thursday, October 20. Ida reminded that the formation of the Bipartite LKS has been mandated in Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. Guidelines and arrangements for its formation have also been contained in the Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 32 of 2008. LKS Bipartit is one of the means to communicate and consult between employers and representatives of workers and laborers to support the creation of healthy and productive work relationships in a company. Data from the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) shows that currently, there are 23,155 LKS Bipartite out of 60,423 units of companies registered with the Companies Mandatory Report of Manpower (WLKP). "It's sad because not all companies register WLKP. Second, from those who register less than 50 percent they have a Bipartite LKS," said Ida. The event to give the LKS Bipartit Award itself was carried out to express appreciation to companies that have well formed and run the LKS Bipartit. In addition, awarding is also intended to provide inspiration and motivation for other companies that have not done so. He said that the establishment of the Bipartite LKS requires awareness of both parties, both companies and workers. "His presence is needed to build harmonious, fair industrial relations that provide welfare to the workers," said Ida Fauziyah.
