Laborers are back marching on the streets of Jakarta demanding an increase to the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) to between IDR 3.4 million and IDR 3.7 million. According to Sohibul Iman, Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives (House), this figure is still reasonable as it is within the range of meeting the decent life needs of workers.
“Certainly everyone that works wants sufficient income. That figure to me is still reasonable,” stated Iman in Jakarta on Monday.
Responding to the laborers’ demand, Poempida Hidayatulloh, a lawmaker from Commission IX at the House, said that the UMP must be determined based on the amount of payment required to support a decent life.
“So we must not be fixated on the figure alone,” wrote Poempida in a short message to Hukumonline on Monday.
At the time of the demonstration, the Governor of Jakarta Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, asserted that he has no knowledge of such demands.
“It has yet to be filed with me. If the laborers have met with employers, then it will be sent to me. UMP applies the same. If they have discussed things over with employers, then they come to me,” Jokowi explained in Jakarta on Tuesday.
The Governor further urged laborers and employers to demonstrate appropriate behavior in discussing the UMP issue. He also added that laborers and employers should frequently hold discussions instead of only meeting at times of impending conflict.
“So don’t only meet when there are concerns related to the UMP. That is not a harmonious relationship. Avoid conflicting relations. In conflicting relationships things will always be like this,” he stated.
