Bouncer and Factory Workers
By: Warsa
Most observers said, the unfolding case of confinement factory workers and pan frying pan by his employer in Lebak Wangi, South Tangerang is a slap doubt for employment in this country. Ironically, this case revealed a few days after the celebration of Labor Day / May Day is often celebrated on May 1.
Cak Imin, as the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration said the workers confinement problem is not just entering the realm of employment violations alone, has also been entered into in violation of human rights. Perpetrators should be criminalized offense with penalties as severe.
Some labor activists give their views, cruelty and factory employers to employees is often the case. Exposure of the workers confinement frying pan and pot at the South Tangerang just an iceberg phenomenon. He only looks at the surface, still did not lose a bit of other cases that injure employment system in this country. Supervision of the Department of Labor to companies and factories are still less done the fullest.
Tempo Daily, Sunday (5/5) reported, confinement labor performed by Yuki Irawan at Lebak Wangi, South Tangerang has been categorized into slavery. Indonesian Employers Association has been doing well also spoke, "This is a criminal case and we really criticize him." Apindo also urged the government to resume the Light Metals owner of South Tangerang was given a severe punishment.
The emergence of slavery of workers in this country has been going on before the era of independence. It was taught by the VOC and the landlords. History records, the owners of the company should have paid the watchman to secure their enterprises. The landlords did not miss, they dared to hire the warlords paid / free man to scare the farmers and tenants of agricultural land.
In this era of openness as now, in the era when we consider that this country has been independent, but the practices of colonialism and slavery is still concrete and manifest in this life. Is not a hoax, several companies and factories in the outposts until today there are many who use the services of thugs or hoodlums to secure the factory of the company and the workers movement.
It becomes more logical, why wages for the workers and employees in a factory and the company is always minimal even companies that still pay salaries to its employees below the minimum wage? Companies and factories indirectly has cut the salaries of the employees, then the pieces of money used to pay the thugs, thugs, and champion-champion of the village as 'protection money'.
The thugs and the thugs have exceeded the duties of a security officer. The applicants are required to work in some areas overlooking the first to the thugs and the thugs. Even some prospective employees are required to give money to them with a range of 1-2jt if you want to be accepted to be an employee at the plant. Companies and factories were and this has become common knowledge, but must obtain a business license, also had to pay protection money to the law enforcement, this is certainly illegal payments out of taxes.
Peace of workers is always disturbed not by things that are beyond the company alone. Problems within the company itself is often intimidating and frightening terror to give the workers. In garment factories for example, some workers will say-dwarf with dirty words and inhuman when they make mistakes. This is a psychological war against the workers.
Fatal result is the workers themselves have experienced alienation. They become alienated from what they have done. They are paid with money that is not comparable with the ability, skill, and effort has been spent. This firm cake instead enjoyed by thugs and security forces in the name of "security in order to create a factory environment".[ ]
