JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Basedan finally decided to appeal the decision of the Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN) which ordered a reduction in the DKI Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) in 2022 from IDR 4.6 million to IDR 4.5 million.

This PTUN decision previously canceled the Governor's Decree (Kepgub) Number 1517 of 2021 concerning the 2022 Provincial Minimum Wage.

The head of the DKI Jakarta Legal Bureau, Yayan Yuhana, said that the appeal was an effort by the DKI Provincial Government to maintain the 5.1 percent UMP increase previously set by Anies.

"We hope that with this appeal, the UMP amount of IDR 4,641,852 according to the Governor's Decree Number 1517 of 2021 will not be canceled", Yayan said in his statement, Wednesday, July 27.

Yayan admitted that the DKI Provincial Government appreciated the decision of the panel of judges on the UMP decision in terms of justifying the authority of the DKI Jakarta Governor in making UMP policies and confirming the right of workers to get a living wage.

However, after comprehensively reviewing and studying the decision of the Panel of Judges, it is still not in line with the expectations of the DKI Provincial Government.

In which, his policy of increasing the UMP, Anies considered a decent standard of living for workers and rising inflation.

"The UMP value set in the Gubernatorial Decree has taken into account the inflation rate, as well as the feasibility and welfare of workers' lives", said Yayan.

For information, the DKI Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN) canceled the decision of the Governor (Kepgub) of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan regarding the 2022 UMP.

In addition to canceling the Governor's Decree, the Jakarta Administrative Court in its decision also required Anies as the defendant to revoke Gubernatorial Decree No. 1517 of 2021 concerning the 2022 UMP which was issued on December 16, 2021.

Another ruling is that Anies obliges Anies to issue a new State Administrative Decree regarding the 2022 UMP based on the recommendation of the Wage Council of DKI Jakarta, namely the elements of the labor union Number: I/Depeprov/XI/2021 on November 15, 2021, amounting to IDR 4,573,845.
