Judicial Review of Act No. 13/2003 entered its second meeting with the agenda of improving the examination request on Wednesday (11 / 5) at 14.00 pm. Tested is the Article 59 paragraph (1) reads "A work agreement for a certain time can only be made for a specific job which, according to the type and nature of work or activity will be completed within a certain time, namely: a. once the work is finished or the temporary nature; b. the expected completion of work in the not too long and a maximum of 3 (three) years; c. the work is seasonal; or d. work relating to new products, new activities,
or additional products still in the experimental or exploratory. "

Petitioner is Educate Supriyadi, Chairman of the Alliance of Indonesian Electricity Meter Readers Officer (AP2MLI) in Surabaya, East Java. In the hearing, Petitioner's attorney presented the petition improvements. Namely, if previous testing this is only one article, namely Article 59 paragraph (1) of a quo, this time adding another chapter Petitioner tested.

Added is Article 64 of Law 13/2003 states that "companies can submit partial implementation of the work to other companies through public tender agreement or provision of employment services workers who are made in writing". "The term for Article 64 is usually referred to as outsourcing. We're testing this this article as it contravenes Article 27 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, "said attorney applicant.

Another improvement, that is the reason the test is deemed detrimental to the Petitioner's constitutional rights. "In conjunction with work on the basis of certain agreements and outsourcing of work time, workers or workers viewed as mere commodities and merchandise. Labour left alone to face the fierce market forces. Did not rule our grandchildren will only be a slave in their own country, "explained the Petitioner's attorney.

Working relationship based on certain agreements and outsourcing of work time is also just placed as a factor of production alone. "When no longer needed, they will decide the contract. They only cash cow the owners of capital. Whereas the 1945 Constitution says the economy are prepared on the principle of kinship. Prosperity of society that take precedence, "he added.

In addition, the Applicant also asserts that the repair work agreement specified time and outsourcing is a form of modern slavery. Panel of Judges of the Constitutional Court led by Achmad Sodiki Experts recommend that Petitioner presents strong and have a broad view to strengthen the petition. (Yazid / mh)
