Then workers also ask for regulation and protection to medical workers. According to him, there has so far been no protection against any law related to medical workers. “It is very sad if they struggled for humanity, but their rights do not appear,” he said. Then, said, teaching staff should also receive protection. In addition, the crew should also be considered. “There is another matter of the crew of the ship consisting of the start of the commercial ship and the crew of the Vissijip. Life dead on the ship, he worked on the ship, he slept on the ship, 24 hours work the engine is in the middle of the waves, he did not have time to stop, there was no working hours,” said. “While regulated in PP outside the ship’s room or even in PP, even in permen, even if it is a fundamental right, it must be regulated in law because it is the material of the law,” he continued. Workers, said, also requested an arrangement related to the ban on labor brokers. He said it should be regulated in the new manpower law. “As for the ban on the workforce, it is a new matter we ask, and it must be confirmed that people should not find work or brokers,” he said. Furthermore, he also said that he also proposed the existence of professional training. Because so far, said, there is only job training and an overlapping subject study system. “Internships are told, for example, to work with wages that are, for example, only a rate, or replace the workers there to pay, so they can pay cheap wages,” he explained. “Therefore, the framework is a work training in the new Labor Act; it is only allowed for labor workers, so he must have a working relationship, or by the government, by the government, by the private sector in the country abroad, we have a description here, but he must first be limited,” he continued. Was also asked for a ban to keep the worker’s documents. He considered that the detention of documents should not be done. “As far as the ban on keeping the documents is concerned, we know that the Ministry of Manpower also yesterday a lot of reports on the documents detained, for example diplomas, and so on, it is not the authority of the company to keep the documents, still put in the new law,” he said.
