TRIBUN-VIDEO.COM - Said Iqbal, Special Advisor to the President of the Republic of Indonesia for Manpower and Worker Welfare, has identified the potential for mass layoffs (PHK) of thousands of workers in East and West Java. To prevent a wider wave of layoffs, Said Iqbal will ask President Prabowo Subianto not to raise the price of subsidized fuel. Iqbal made this statement in an online press conference on Sunday (June 21). Iqbal stated that 2,500 factory employees in East Java are at risk of layoffs. Meanwhile, in West Java, 4,000 workers are also threatened with layoffs by their companies. This phenomenon arose due to fluctuations in the rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar and the war between the United States and Iran in the Middle East. According to Said, this situation is affecting the production of both export-oriented companies and companies that purchase imported raw materials. Said assessed that this situation ultimately suppressed people's purchasing power and reduced companies' production capacity. As a result, thousands of employees were at risk of layoffs due to this situation. He then offered advice to President Prabowo to prevent the wave of layoffs from escalating. One suggestion he made was to ensure that subsidized fuel prices did not increase.
