Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Labor Party President Said Iqbal said workers had suffered from unfair treatment, especially regarding wages and work relations.
In his speech at the May Day Fiesta at Madya Senayan Stadium, he said that the increase in workers' wages was not in line with inflation.
“Inflation is 2.8%, wages have increased by 1.58%. Workers have dropped by 1%,” he said.
He also highlighted the determination of wages which, according to him, is controlled by certain political parties and capital owners.
“How come you let these political parties continue to rule? They are the owners of capital, controlling your wages. It's not wages going up, wages going down. Nombok!” he stressed.
According to him, workers must also oppose the Omnibus Law on the Job Creation Law because it is deemed not to protect workers because it still accommodates the outsourcing system.
“We hope that outsourcing will not be massive. Wages will not be below inflation. On the other hand, we respect the government for the world of employment,” he said.
