Dasco Absorbs Labour Aspirations Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the DPR RI Sufmi Dasco Ahmad received representatives from the worker crowds during the International Labour Day or May Day 2026 celebration. Dasco stated that the government and DPR are targeting the completion of the Manpower Law by the end of the year at the latest. “Earlier, the government and DPR have agreed that at the latest by the end of this year we will implement the Constitutional Court’s decision to form a new Employment Law,” said Dasco at the DPR RI building in Jakarta on Friday (1/5). Nevertheless, Dasco said how quickly the discussion proceeds depends on the workers. This is because the initial material discussion is handed over to the workers. “We leave it to the workers’ friends to cook it up, so to speak. Well, so we wait, but in principle, the government has also requested that by the end of this year the Employment Law must be completed,” he said. “Actually, whether it’s slow or fast with this law, it actually depends on you, the worker comrades,” he added. Dasco also responded to the 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, regarding the outsourcing system, then issues regarding if there are those who want to lay off and so on, that can be brought there to break the long chain,” he said.
