A dispute between PT Amos Indah Indonesia and 134 former employees has been resolved through mediation by the Indonesian National Police's Employment Desk and the Ministry of Manpower. The company has agreed to pay Rp 12.7 billion in compensation, a settlement that Head of the Police Employment Desk, Brigadier General Mohammad Irhamni, described as a "win-win solution" for both parties.
The mediation process, initiated at the request of Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, took about a month to conclude. Irhamni stated that the compensation package includes severance pay and other outstanding obligations owed to the workers. This resolution aims to ensure the former employees receive their rightful dues following their termination from the company.
This agreement is a win-win solution for both parties, both employers and workers.
Deputy Minister of Manpower, Afriansyah Noor, confirmed that the layoffs occurred in March 2026. The workers had previously protested at the Ministry of Manpower, feeling that the termination process was unfair and that their rights were not being adequately addressed. Afriansyah noted that the Rp 12.7 billion settlement encompasses unpaid wages, delayed holiday allowances, and other company-related liabilities.
"So this demand of Rp 12.7 billion is the accumulation of everything," Afriansyah said, indicating the comprehensive nature of the agreed-upon compensation. The successful mediation highlights the collaborative efforts between law enforcement and government bodies to address labor disputes and ensure fair treatment for workers.
So this demand of Rp 12.7 billion is the accumulation of everything.
