JAKARTA - BPJS Watch Advocacy Coordinator Timboel Siregar emphasized the actions of company leaders who require female employees to stay at hotels or "staycation" with him so that the extended work contract is a violation of human rights alias human rights.

Timboel said that the massive news about the action was very concerning, because contract workers had been very weak in their bargaining position in industrial relations.

"These employees are more often faced with subjective employers or leaders who determine whether or not the work contract is extended," he said in a press statement, Friday, May 5, which was confiscated by Antara.

So far, there have been many violations of the normative rights of contract workers, because the bargaining position is very low, such as violations of the minimum wage, social security, K3, holiday allowances (THR), to payment of job contract compensation when the work contract is due.

When there are protests about violations of these normative rights, according to him, it is not uncommon for workers to terminate their contracts, not to be extended again so that this becomes a fear for workers. Workers are afraid of being unemployed because their work relationships are cut off.

"In my opinion, the actions of superiors who require'staying at the hotel' (staying at the hotel) to female employees as a condition for an extended work contract to be very likely, and according to information from several friends this is indeed the case," said Timboel.

According to him, the incident must be stopped, including violations of the normative rights of other workers. All of these problems must be immediately responded to and followed up by the police and labor inspectors. The police must open the evil veil of superiors who have used their power to abuse female workers.

"The police must be careful in responding to this, lest the police stop investigating and investigating this evil act because of the 'likes' confession from both parties. In fact, female workers are under very strong pressure because they are afraid that their contracts will not be extended. I hope female workers dare to reveal this problem, and the police immediately process the law against the superiors who take this action," he said.

In addition, police and labor inspectors must guarantee that female workers who dare to speak up on this "staycation" issue can still work in the company. The Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) and the police must provide protection for female workers who dare to solve this problem.

"The momentum of this case must also be used by the labor inspector to respond to violations of the normative rights of workers that have occurred in the company. The labor inspector must ensure the confidentiality of the reporting worker on the report submitted," he said.

"With this news, of course, the Labor Union (SP/SB) must be more responsive to this issue, and dare to reveal if there is an allegation of this problem in the company. Women's workers must be educated and empowered by SP/SB to dare to complain if there is a'staycation' requirement as a condition for extending work contracts," he said.
