Labor activists hold banners ahead of a protest on Wednesday (12/2/2020) at the House of Representatives in Senayan, Jakarta. The protesters objected to the omnibus bill on job creation, which they claimed would sacrifice workers’ welfare for the sake of investment. They say that the bill threatens workers’ rights and welfare by excluding detailed provisions on minimum wage and the hourly wage system, eliminating severance pay, reducing work hours and altering the labor system.

Many parties are waiting for the Job Creation Law (UUCK) to be implemented to restore the economy and increase Indonesia\'s competitiveness.

In the Kompas Collaboration Forum (KCF) online discussion on Friday (30/4/2021), which was attended by CEOs and leaders of KCF member companies, Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung said that the Job Creation Law provided legal certainty for investors.
