Jakarta – Manpower and Transmigration Minister Muhaimin Iskandar said that an amendment to the Labor Law would give more protection to employees working under outsourcing schemes.

"The new revision will put the emphasis on regulating outsourcing practices. We will allow the practice only in certain sectors," Muhaimin said as quoted by Antara.

Currently, a team of experts from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) are working on the draft amendment by looking for opinions from labor unions. Muhamain said that LIPI experts also made a presentation on the draft amendment to him last week.
