Operation on social insurance

JAKARTA (JP): State-owned manpower insurance company PT Astek
is launching a large-scale operation on workers' social insurance
at companies throughout the city.

Freddy P. Taumelly, head of the Jakarta office of the Ministry
of Manpower, told reporters that the operation is intended to
check as to what extent the companies abide by existing
regulations on social insurance.

"If a company refuses to abide by the rules even though both
information and guidance have already been given, we will not
hesitate to take action against it," he said.

Freddy said that the operation is intended to help protect
workers' rights and is in line with Regulation No. 3/1992.

Soekoyo, an official of the office, said that the operation is
being held between Sept. 6 and 29. (hhr)
