A recent meeting was held at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta by several ministers from the Red and White Cabinet to discuss the situation of PT Sritex employees who had been laid off. The main objective of the meeting was to address the directive from Prabowo for ministers to find solutions for the affected workers. Among the attendees were Minister of Manpower Yassierli, Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, and PT Sritex Curator Nurma Sadikin.
During the meeting, Prasetyo emphasized the president’s concern for the workers and the urgent need to resolve the issues faced by PT Sritex since its bankruptcy declaration in October 2024. The goal is to rehire approximately 8,000 employees with a new working scheme in the textile sector. Minister Yassierli praised the curator’s efforts to potentially rehire former Sritex employees within the next two weeks.
Prabowo’s commitment to providing support and guidance is expected to bring relief to PT Sritex employees affected by the layoffs. The Ministry of Manpower is actively working to protect the rights of PT Sritex Group workers by ensuring they receive appropriate compensation and other benefits. The PT Sritex Curator Team is currently in the process of selecting investors to manage Sritex’s assets under a new scheme, which will ultimately lead to the reemployment of the laid-off workers. This strategic step aims to provide stability to the affected employees and offer a solution to their current situation.
