        "summary": "The Confederation of All-Indonesian Workers' Unions (KSPSI) asserts that President Prabowo Subianto's attendance at the 2026 May Day celebrations in Jakarta will not compromise their labour integrity, as leader Andi Gani Nena Wea has repeatedly rejected cabinet positions to maintain the union's check-and-balances role. Andi highlighted his history of challenging government policies, such as the Omnibus Law, while fostering synergy with authorities for workers' welfare. Prabowo is expected to announce surprises related to online drivers, ILO ratification, and labour policies, alongside personal gifts funded privately.",

However, these offers\nwere always rejected as a commitment by the workers\u2019 union to maintain\nthe functioning of checks and balances in the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am close to those in power, but I am also the one who challenged\nthe Omnibus Law,\u201d said Andi during a press conference for the 2026 May\nDay celebrations in the Menteng area, Wednesday, 29 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>He recounted that this closeness is with former President Joko\nWidodo. Andi mentioned that he and Jokowi have known each other for 22\nyears.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, he said, when the government makes policies that harm\nthe working class, as KSPSI leader, he will be at the forefront in\nfighting for the rights and welfare of the blue-collar group.<\/p>\n<p>Andi reminded that the relationship between workers and the\ngovernment cannot always be in a confrontational position. According to\nhim, the government and workers must synergise to create a conducive\nsituation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, we have proven that when there are issues concerning workers\u2019\nwelfare, we are the ones who sue, we are the ones who fight. So, our\nlabour idealism has never been limited,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to attend the\n2026 May Day celebrations in the Monas area, Central Jakarta, this\nFriday, 1 May.<\/p>\n<p>Andi Gani said that in his attendance, the Head of State is said to\ngive a surprise to the workers\u2019 unions. \u201cRelated to online ojek, ILO\nratification, and labour welfare policies,\u201d said Andi.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the surprise, he said, Prabowo will also give workers\u2019\nunions T-shirts and umbrellas to celebrate May Day later. The T-shirts\nand umbrellas were designed directly by the Head of State.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the President will also give additional prizes that\ncannot be mentioned in detail. However, Andi assured that the prizes are\nnot sourced from the state budget.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis personal budget,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
