JAKARTA - Presidential candidate (candidate) number 1, Anies Baswedan is committed to reviewing the Job Creation Law (UU Ciptaker). According to him, the Ciptaker Law does not provide a sense of justice for blue collar workers. "We are committed to reviewing the Job Creation Act so that regulations that are deemed not to provide a sense of justice can be corrected to provide a sense of justice," Anies said at the AMIN Desak & Slepet event followed online in Jakarta, Monday, January 29, which was confiscated by Antara. Anies said the Ciptaker Law, which was drafted to create jobs, reaped contradictory results. Citing data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Anies said unemployment fell 5.3 percent during the era of the leadership of the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. In the post-UU Ciptaker era, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), unemployment only fell 0.73 percent. "This means that there are indicators that show that the job creation effort did not happen. With regulations like this, we must ensure," said the former governor of DKI Jakarta.

No less important, Anies said that in the post-UU Ciptaker era, the fulfillment of severance pay rights to layoff victims was not given in full. According to him, this right must be ensured and the government must not ignore it so that the government must ensure that the fulfillment of these rights occurs. "So, we want to make sure the review of the omnibus law or the Job Creation Act. God willing, we will do it and we work together to make sure it happens," said Anies. Anies said that the issue of the Ciptaker Law is not only related to labor matters, but also the relationship between the central and regional governments, which includes a lot of authority, which actually causes problems that make entrepreneurs troublesome. "So, we want that when the revision is completely complete it does not leave the problem. Do not catch up with the deadline, but the tension in the implementation," he said.
