Labour Minister Yassierli Sends Off 1,545 United Tractors Workers on Eid Holiday Journey
Labour Minister Yassierli sent off the departure of 1,545 participants in United Tractors Group’s “Mudik Bersama 2026” programme at Cakung, East Jakarta, on Wednesday, 18 March 2026. This annual programme is regarded as a concrete manifestation of transformative collaboration between the company and workers ahead of Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijrah.
Labour Minister Yassierli appreciated United Tractors Group’s step in increasing the fleet of buses compared to the previous year. He stated that this initiative strengthens harmonious and productive industrial relations.
“We appreciate the Mudik Bersama programme of UT Group as a concrete manifestation of collaboration in building transformative industrial relations. This initiative demonstrates the company’s concern for workers, so the spirit of mutual cooperation can grow and drive more productive working relationships,” Yassierli said in Jakarta on Wednesday, 18 March 2026.
This year’s mudik programme adopted the theme “Meaningful Journey Together with Scania.” A total of 38 bus fleets were deployed to transport employees, employee families, business partners, and UT School students to various destinations in West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, East Java, and Sumatra.
United Tractors President Director Frans Kesuma ensured that all aspects of the departure had been thoroughly prepared. Safety standards for drivers, crew, and bus fleet compliance became the company’s top priority.
“We ensure all preparations are conducted thoroughly, from fleet readiness to safety standards. UT wants to ensure all participants can travel smoothly and arrive safely to enjoy meaningful moments together with family,” Frans said.
The Central Java Provincial Government also prepared a return journey programme on 27 and 28 March 2026, coordinated by regency and city governments in workers’ home regions. Cianjur Police expressed their desire to assist residents who wanted to gather with family during Eid al-Fitr. South East Sulawesi Governor Andi Sumangerukka sent off 200 free mudik travellers on the Kendari-Bobong route, providing a solution for residents who were unable to travel due to sold-out ship tickets.
Free mudik is not merely a transport service without charge, but part of efforts to encourage economic circulation between regions. Tasikmalaya City Police dispatched 114 mudik travellers for free to Yogyakarta-Solo destinations using two tourism buses from Primajasa bus company.
