JAKARTA - The Confederation of Indonesian Workers Unions (KSPI) intends to fight back if the Job Creation Bill is passed. The bill had previously arrived in the hands of the House of Representatives (DPR).

The KSPI will take three challenges if the DPR continues to pass the bill in a plenary meeting forum. KSPI President Said Iqbal said that his party would hold a large-scale demonstration during the deliberation of the Job Creation Bill at the DPR. Because, if it is legalized, it will be the workers who will suffer losses.

"National action, regional action, even does not rule out actions involving a broader component. My fellow students, they are threatened. Once they enter the labor market they have no future, ladies and gentlemen are threatened because they pay high costs to go to school. their children have no certainty for their children, "said Iqbal, in a press conference, at the Mega Proklamasi Hotel, Central Jakarta, Sunday, February 16.

Iqbal said, Indonesia was threatened with an emergency for welfare with the Work Creation Bill. Therefore, a massive action involving all of the wider and massive society will be carried out.

"Stopping production, if that happens and it is an option. But we will do everything in an orderly, peaceful manner according to the procedure. There is no intention of tormenting or causing trouble for others to break the rules," he said.

Then, the second step that will be taken is legal action. Iqbal said that his party would carry out a formal judicial process. Cancel all contents of the omnibus law on the Job Creation Bill.

"Not only about labor to the Constitutional Court. Apart from the formal judicial review, we also conducted a judicial review, which articles were detrimental and asked the Court to cancel it," he explained.

The third step, continued Iqbal, is citizen law suit or citizen lawsuit. Because workers as citizens are disadvantaged by the attitude of the government which is very capitalist and liberal.

"The world of labor is liberalized, the world of education is liberalized. People don't have job security, don't have protection for wages and income, and people don't get health insurance and pensions," he said.

Iqbal said that the government only rhetoric on the Job Creation Bill. However, after reviewing everything that was denied, was just nonsense.

"We ask the DPR politically to cancel the omnibus law on the Job Creation Bill, especially the workforce cluster and everything related to employment," he said.
