We are still consolidating with workers and maximizing time to move until Mr. Andra Soni-Dimyati gets full support from workers in Banten Province," said Faizal in the declaration of Friends of Andra Soni-Dimyati of Cilegon City, Thursday (10/10/2024).

Faizal said that the declaration of Friends of Andra Soni-Dimyati of Cilegon City was the second declaration after Serang City and a similar declaration would be made in Serang Regency.

"We support the candidate pair for Governor and Deputy Governor Mr. Andra Soni-Dimyati to become leaders in Banten Province to realize the welfare of workers. Because the Governor is the executor of the labor law, including being the supervisor of workers' welfare," he said.

"We need a one-noise Banten leader and get the blessing of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Mr. Prabowo Subianto. We hope that Andra Soni-Dimyati will make it happen after being elected governor of Banten in 2024-2029," he added.

The Head of Labor, Sahabat Andra Soni-Dimyati, Cilegon City, Jajuli, said that the vision and mission of the Banten Governor candidate for the 2024-2029 period was in line with the needs of workers in Banten.

"With the slogan Banten Maju, Adil Merata and Tidak Korupsi" which he carries, we have confidence that Andra Soni Dimyati will improve the welfare of workers in Banten Province," said Jajuli.

Jajuli hopes that Andra Soni - Dimyati after becoming Governor and Deputy Governor of Banten for the period 2024-2029 will be able to answer the needs of the people of Banten, especially the workers in Cilegon City.

"Always close and open space for diologists with workers. Along with the trade union to advance Banten Province, especially in Cilegon City and reduce unemployment and be able to provide educational scholarships to outstanding laborers," he hoped.

Meanwhile, the candidate for Deputy Governor of Banten, Dimyati Natakusumah, expressed her gratitude for the support of the workers and was ready to fulfill the wishes of the workers to prosper them.

"By eliminating corruption, the community will prosper. Workers are people in the lower class, so their wages should not be too small. They don't enrich themselves, they also only support their children and wives. If their salaries are small, their children can also be malnourished, so they must be prosperous," he said.

Dimyati stated that so that workers can prosper, the local government should not overly pressure employers with taxes that burden employers. "Don't for the sake of Regional Original Income (PAD), the tax raised will not increase the workers' salaries. The taxes must be re-calculated, so that local governments can get PAD, profit entrepreneurs and workers are also prosperous," he said.
