        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Workers again pressed President Prabowo\nSubianto to deliver on his pledge to abolish outsourcing, or alih daya,\nin a demonstration in front of the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker), in\nKuningan, South Jakarta, on Wednesday, 4 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Suparno, president of the Federation of Indonesian Metal Workers\u2019\nUnion (FSPMI), lamented Kemnaker as the authority under the President\nthat has yet to realise the agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear that President Prabowo in May Day 2025 promised to\nabolish outsourcing. But here the stakeholders, the Minister of Labour,\nuntil today have done nothing,\u201d Suparno told reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>In their demands, the workers called for the issue of a ministerial\nregulation relating to the abolition of outsourcing.<\/p>\n<p>The demands were conveyed to Suparno when he met for a hearing with\nDeputy Minister of Labour (Wamenaker) Afriansyah Noor.<\/p>\n<p>In that hearing, Afriansyah reportedly agreed to abolish outsourcing\ngradually. Suparno said they would be involved in revising Government\nRegulation No.\u00a035 of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThus outsourcing can gradually be removed from our country,\ncomrades. Because this is in line with what was stated when Mr Prabowo\nSubianto signed the trade agreement with Donald Trump,\u201d Suparno said\nafter the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Afriansyah confirmed the matter. He said they agreed to abolish\noutsourcing gradually until it is completely removed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ministry of Labour together with FSPMI have agreed to abolish\noutsourcing, but both sides will conduct studies to identify policy gaps\nto minimise the implementation of outsourcing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In this demonstration, the workers also urged the DPR to draft and\nimmediately pass a new Labour Law with a deadline of October 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the workers called for the removal of the THR tax,\nopposed the import of pickup trucks from India, urged the reactivation\nof BPJS Kesehatan participants under PBI, and passed the Domestic Worker\nAct.<\/p>\n<p>The commitment to abolish outsourcing will be taken by the government\nin the formation of the National Labour Welfare Council.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo explained that the National Labour Welfare Council would\nserve as an adviser to the president in shaping policy directions\nrelated to labour, such as workers\u2019 rights and protections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a gift to workers today, I will soon form the National Labour\nWelfare Council,\u201d said Prabowo.<\/p>",
