Labor insurance<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
As a member of the Astek\/Jamsostek (labor insurance) program,
\nI would like a clear explanation of a number of things. According
\nto articles six and 25 of Law No. 3 of 1992, the objective of the
\ncollection of labor insurance funds is to enhance the welfare of
\nIndonesian workers. If the Jamsostek funds are so huge, is it
\nstill appropriate to pay only Rp 1.2 million in compensation for
\ncases of death?<\/p>\n
Is it appropriate to limit the reimbursement of medical costs
\nof Astek\/Jamsostek members to Rp 3 million in cases of
\noccupational accidents?<\/p>\n
The two cases above should be given priority over business
\ninvestments which are enjoyed by people who are not entitled to
\ncompensation. Those who have contributed to the funds will have
\nretired and died without the opportunity to enjoy the funds they
\ncontributed to for their welfare.<\/p>\n
What was the payment formula for the Rp 100 million given to
\nfamilies of six people who died in the Garuda plane crash at
\nSibolangit? Huge amounts are paid to Astek\/Jamsostek retired
\nstaff compared to those who are insured under the program. Does
\nthe money not belong to the insurance participants?<\/p>\n
I have read the opinions of experts on the Astek\/Jamsostek
\ncases like the ones described above. They have proposed the
\nestablishment of an investigation committee or the launching of a
\nstate audit agency team. I think that such an investigation would
\nonly incur additional costs to the state. It is already clear
\nthat the money was used contrary to the law cited above.<\/p>\n
Even if there was an approval by the House of Representatives
\n(DPR) to use the money, it is still inadequate.<\/p>\n
Expenditures should also be agreed to by the All-Indonesia
\nWorkers Union (SPSI) that represents Indonesian workers --
\nalthough I understand that the SPSI's loyalty is to the manpower
\nministry rather than the workers represented. However, such a
\nprocedure is more appropriate than only complying with the
\nrequests of the minister or even the President.<\/p>\n
I can't imagine why Astek\/Jamsostek provided the Rp 3.1
\nbillion to finance the discussions of the manpower bill while its
\ncost had been provided for by the government.<\/p>\n
