OMNIBUS LAW AND PROBLEMATICS LABOR IN INDONESIA

Abstract

Omnibus Law is a merging of several laws into one regulation. The purpose of the government to create an omnibus law is to combine 1,244 articles and 79 laws in one regulation. One of the laws which are incorporated in the omnibus law is the Manpower Act. In the Draft Omnibus Law Employment Copyright will create 11 changes including simplifying licensing, investment requirements, foreign workers, working hours, workers’ rights and protection, adding to the types of layoffs, and strengthening social security. The problem in this paper is how are the problems surrounding labor law as a rule of law included in the omnibus law agenda?Basically, this omnibus law is one of the opportunities seen by the president where this could be the answer to the problems that exist in Indonesia. Because he is tackling convoluted policies, but in the eyes of the people, especially the affected people, actually judge by the loss of rules this even eliminates the certainty set out in Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. In addition there are rules which are not abolished, but are conceptually replaced, which can have implications that lead to other conflicts, especially related to the rights of local workers who are Indonesian citizens who must be protected by a just law.
