JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Labor unions held a meeting with the Head of the Indonesian Government Communication Agency (Bakom), Syahganda Nainggolan, urging the government to provide clarity on the Employment Protection Law.
This is because, until now, labor unions and workers have claimed they have not received a copy of the law.
"The problem today is that we have not officially received a copy of the legislation that has been passed by the Indonesian Parliament," said Daeng Wahidin, President of the Indonesian Independent Labor Confederation, at the Bakom office in Jakarta on Wednesday (21/10/2026).
After the meeting, Daeng expressed satisfaction with the audience.
He believes that the government and the parliament have successfully produced a law that is pro-labor.
"Alhamdulillah, we are quite satisfied, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank President Prabowo for helping to free the workforce in Indonesia from the constraints of the Omnibus Law with the emergence of the employment protection law," he said.
Daeng hopes that President Prabowo Subianto will sign the regulation.
This way, workers can soon feel its benefits.
Syahganda Nainggolan, the head of Bakom, promised to coordinate with relevant ministries and agencies.
He stated that he would investigate this information.
