JAKARTA - The Confederation of Indonesian Workers Unions (KSPI) is demanding that all factions of the DPR hold a legislative review process to cancel the Job Creation Law.
Legislative review is the process of examining laws carried out by the DPR as a legislative body. This test aims to review articles in regulations that are considered problematic and can invalidate these rules.
"Based on the provisions of Article 20 paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution, the DPR holds the power to form a law, so that the DPR has the authority to make a new law to cancel the work copyright law through a legislative review process," said KSPI President Said Iqbal in a virtual discussion, Wednesday, 21 October.
In this request, KSPI has officially sent letters to each of the chairmen of the party factions in the parliament, namely PDIP, Golkar, Gerindra, Nasdem, PKB, Democrat, PKS, PAN, and PPP.
Said Iqbal asked DPR members not to ignore requests for legislative review, especially to the Democrat Party and PKS. This is because when the Work Creation Law was ratified, the two parties firmly rejected the Omnibus Law.
"The DPR should not throw away the body, especially the two factions that strongly reject the Omnibus Law on the Job Creation Law. The PKS and Democrat factions can take the initiative to carry out a legislative review because it is justified by the 45 Constitution and the Law on Establishing Legislation," he said.
Separately, a constitutional law expert from the University of Indonesia, Said Salahudin also considered the Democrat Party and PKS to be the initiator to invite other factions to hold a legislative review on the Job Creation Law.
According to him, PKS and Democrats have a strong juridical basis as the motor for legislative review. The normative basis for the idea of this examination is the desire to meet legal needs in society, seeing the action against the Job Creation Law everywhere.
"The wave of massive demonstrations against the omnibus law, which has not stopped lately, clearly shows that there is a legal need from the community to cancel the Job Creation Law," said Said Salahudin.
