Proceeding trial of judicial review on Act 2/2004 about Industrial Relation Completion (UU PPHI) held on Tuesday (10/1) at MK Plenary room. The petition filed by Agus, representing 449 employees of PT Dream Sentosa.

In the revised petition, the Plaintiff flaunts some revisions as advised by the Panel of Justices. “The revision accounts for requests and pole Articles. Article 59 verse (2) UU RPHI opposes Article 24 verse 1 and 2, Article 27,” he said

The Applicant objected Article 59 number (2) UU PPHI, the Article itself says; In city/region level specifically in industrial area, within President’s decree must form local Industrial Relations Court. Applicant is a labour who is, alongside with his peers in Supreme Court, struggling for industrial disputes completion as the corporation has financial trouble and the completion took too long to be decided. This is a fact that has been disserved us, prolonged court completion took too much time and financially hurting, the court located 100 km away from the plantation and the verdict had done reciprocal favor to us,” Agus said.

The Applicant pointed out that the court does harm for the major industrial cases, given that many cases occurred not in Bandung, where the court is located in. The Plaintiff said that the ruling disregards their constitutional rights and potentially do as well for anyone who would file a lawsuit over Industrial disputes. (Lulu Anjarsari/mh/kun)
