Hundreds of thousands of Indonesian workers gathered along the streets leading to the State Palace during the May Day 2013 rally. Under various Indonesian labor unions, they joined to rally against current labor issues, such as social security implementation, unfair outsourcing practices, minimum wage, and migrant workers’ protection.
Indra Munaswar, Presidium of Indonesian Workers Assembly (MPBI), stated to hukumonline at the State Palace on Wednesday (1/5) that the Government must take the establishment of the Social Security Organizer Agency (BPJS) seriously by immediately issuing its implementing regulations.
Said Ikbal, another member of MPBI, asserted that the Government must end outsourcing practices in state-owned companies (BUMNs), as they must set an example for other companies to prioritize the welfare and employment of Indonesian workers.
In addition to ending outsourcing practices, Ikbal also affirmed that labor unions are against postponement of the implementation of the minimum wage by various corporations. The delay was considered to be against prevailing regulations, even though it was permitted by the regional governors.
Migrant workers also were not forgotten during the May Day 2013 rally. Anis Hidayah, Executive Director of Migrant Care, emphasized that they demand the Government to protect and maximize efforts to release the five migrant workers that are currently awaiting execution in Saudi Arabia.
“They are Satinah Binti Jumadi, Siti Zaenab, Tuti Tursilawati, Aminah Binti Budi, and Darmawati,” listed Anis.
As a side note, according to Migrant Care, 321 migrant workers are facing a possible death sentence and 99 workers have already been sentenced.
