Judges to learn about labor settlement

JAKARTA: Labor and ad hoc judges from Indonesia and Timor
Leste will on Tuesday commence a three-day workshop in Jakarta,
as part of efforts to improve industrial relations and labor
adjudication.

During the event, which is sponsored by the International
Labor Organization, the judges will look at ways of promoting
effective settlement and resolution of labor disputes. For
Indonesia's part the workshop will be crucial ahead of the
implementation of Law No. 2/2004 on industrial dispute settlement
next year.

"The key issues in dispute settlement are speed, cost and
justice. Therefore, there is an urgent need for modern procedures
and administrative systems as justice delayed is justice denied,"
ILO country director Alan Boulton said in a statement. -- JP
