JAKARTA - Environment Minister Jumhur Hidayat spoke about the Presidential Decree (Keppres) plan to mitigate layoffs. He assessed that termination of employment should not be a quick way when companies are under pressure.
The statement was made by Jumhur after being inaugurated by President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Monday, April 27.
Jumhur is not new to the issue of employment. Before entering the cabinet, he was known as a labor activist and Chairman of the KSPI. From this position, he assessed that layoffs should not be easily taken by companies.
"If possible, layoffs should not be an easy decision," said Jumhur.
According to Jumhur, there are other steps before layoffs. The company can first reduce working hours or implement a pattern of alternating entry.
"It can be reduced first by working hours, then one day in, one day out," he said.
The majority said that this method could be used to hold off layoffs while waiting for the economy to improve.
He also touched on illegal goods that suppress the domestic industry. According to Jumhur, illegal goods must be cleaned up so that the industry can grow again.
"Illegal-illegal is beaten first. Illegal-illegal is beaten, the industry will grow," he said.
The majority ensured that these options would be included in the discussion of the Presidential Decree on PHK mitigation.
"Oh yes, so various," he said.
