AKARTA: The State Enterprises Workers Union (FSP BUMN) filed on Monday for a judicial review of the 2004 Social Security Law with the Constitutional Court, saying that the court should revoke the article stating that employers should contribute funds to the system.
FSP BUMN filed against 18 of 53 articles of the law, particularly Article 17, which states that citizens should pay a certain amount of money to cover health, workplace accidents and death benefit plans, old age risks and pension insurance.
FSP BUMN chairman Arief Poyuono said that Article 38 of the Constitution mandated that the state guaranteed citizens’ social insurance. “The article says that all citizens have the right to social welfare and to have the state guarantee their social insurance. The insurance should be free and covered entirely by the state,” he said.
