TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Labor Party president Said Iqbal said that thousands of workers will stage a rally to protest Government Regulation in Lieu (Perppu) of Law No.2/2022 on Job Creation in front of the State Palace on Saturday, January 14.

These are members of the Labor Party, Labor Union, and Peasant Union coming from Greater Jakarta, Serang, Cilegon, Karawang, Purwakarta, and West Bandung.

The protest, he said, will take place from morning until noon.

"We estimate there will be more than 10,000 people participating in the rally," he said in a written statement on Monday, January 9, 2023.

Simultaneously, demonstrations will also be held in several industrial cities including Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, Banda Aceh, Medan, Palembang, Bengkulu, Batam, Balikpapan, and Banjarmasin, as well as Ternate, Mataran, Makassar, Palu, Gorontalo, "and several other cities including from Papua, Eastern Indonesia," he said.

According to Said, there are at least nine core issues in the Job Creation Perppu that was signed by President Jokowi at the end of 2022. They include articles on minimum wage, outsourcing, severance pay, contractual laborers, job termination or layoffs, foreign workers, criminal sanctions, working hours, and leave procedures.
