        "summary": "Labour representatives from the Gebrak alliance met with DPR officials in Jakarta to voice concerns over the Job Creation Law, urging its revision to be more worker-friendly with direct involvement from unions. They highlighted stark disparities in regional minimum wages, such as between Rp 2.3 million in parts of Central, West, and East Java and up to Rp 6 million elsewhere, calling for a national wage reform towards fair, uniform standards. Additionally, they demanded that online drivers be recognised as permanent employees rather than mere partners to protect them from arbitrary treatment by platform operators.",
        "content": "<p>The meeting took place in the Abdul Muis room at the DPR RI building,\nJakarta, on Friday (1\/5\/2026). Attendees included Deputy Speaker of the\nDPR RI Saan Mustopa, Chairman of Commission III of the DPR RI\nHabiburokhman, Deputy Chairman of Commission IX of the DPR RI Putih\nSari, and member of Commission IX Obon Tabroni.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives from the Gerakan Buruh Bersama Rakyat (Gebrak)\nalliance stated that one of the aspirations conveyed was regarding the\nJob Creation Law, calling for it to be drafted in support of workers.\nThey requested to be involved in the discussions on the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask the DPR to immediately discuss the Manpower Law that is\npro-worker by involving elements from labour unions,\u201d said one of the\nGebrak representatives, Sunarno, during the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the workers called for improvements to the wage system\nin Indonesia. One issue highlighted was the significant difference in\nlabour wage standards across various regions in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the wage in one region compared to another is quite a large gap.\nFor example, the lowest UMK of Rp 2.3 million in some areas of Central\nJava, West Java, and East Java compared to Rp 5.9 or at least Rp 6\nmillion perhaps in some regions. And the difference is quite far,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, the government or the state should be able to create a concept\nor carry out a reform of the national wage system towards a decent\nnational wage,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, they highlighted online drivers, both two-wheeled and\nfour-wheeled, whose status they believe should be elevated to permanent\nworkers. This is because online drivers are often treated arbitrarily by\nthe applicators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn general, we in the Labour Union agree on how the government\nestablishes their status as workers. So that they are not partners.\nBecause if they are partners, as we know so far, it is still\nunilaterally determined by the applicator side,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
