"The Central Java Provincial Government proposes an increase in the UMP and the district/city minimum wage (UMK) for 2023 at least according to the inflation rate in this province," he said in Semarang, Antara, Sunday.

According to Ganjar, this is in accordance with the contents of Government Regulation Number 36 of 2021 concerning Wages, which in one of the articles states that the minimum wage consists of the provincial minimum wage and the district/city minimum wage which with certain conditions are determined based on economic and labor conditions. In this regard, Ganjar admitted that he had written to the Ministry of Manpower about the actions of his staff in capturing the aspirations of trade unions, employers, and other stakeholders. "Why? Because the provisions use PP and that is not our authority, but the President and the Ministry of Manpower as the leading sectors," he said. Regarding other proposals, Ganjar agreed and will convey it to the government, so there are considerations to revise PP Number 36 of 2021. He argues that the PP can be revised, because the current conditions have changed and the world's economic situation is also in turmoil.
