Dasco Gathers Input on New Labour Law, Invites Workers to 'Take the Lead'

The government and the House of Representatives have agreed that, at the latest, by the end of this year, we will implement the Constitutional Court’s decision to establish a new Labour Law,” said Dasco at the DPR RI building in Jakarta on Friday (1/5/2026).

Nevertheless, Dasco stated that the speed of the discussions depends on the workers themselves, as the initial material discussions are handed over to them.

“This is left to the workers’ friends to cook up, so to speak. Well, we’re waiting, but in principle, the government has also requested that the Labour Law be completed by the end of this year,” he explained.

“Actually, whether it’s slow or fast with this law really depends on you, the workers,” he added.

Dasco also responded to workers’ complaints regarding the outsourcing system. The government, he said, already has a task force for mitigating layoffs and worker welfare.

“So, regarding wage issues, the outsourcing system, and matters related to layoffs and so on, these can be brought there to break the long chain,” he stated.
