Data-Based Advocacy Data Academy Interviewer Training
8 - 13 March 2021
On 8 to 13 March 2021, Data-Based Advocacy Training for interviewers was carried out online. The activity was attended by all Gajimu.com Interviewers partners with a total of 10 Interviewers representing the target distribution areas for the survey activity factories at West Java, Serang - Banten and Central Java.
The current Omnibus Law on job creation is relatively new and still requires a lot of strengthening, especially regarding the implications of the job creation law on Collective Bargaining Agreement. Therefore, on the first day of this training, the participants received basic materials such as; Philosophy of Labor Law, Concept of Employment Relationship, Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and Company Regulations by Mr. Trisnur Priyanto Secretary General of DPP FSB Garteks. Workers' Rights in the Manpower Law, Amendments, additions and deletions of articles concerning Manpower and Social Security in the Employment Creation Law and their impact on the CBA was brought by representatives from TURC, Mr. Angga Sukmawinata.
In order to explore the meaning of gender equality and to review how the current practice is, the training participants also received Gender Sensitivity materials. Miss Andi Misbahul explain the differences and distinguishing the meaning of sex and gender, as well as the Women's Leadership, Policy protection of women workers, kinds and forms of gender violence in everyday life and in the workplace. In delivering the material, the resource person invites participants to discuss in groups and play a role.
The participants also received an explanation about the Data Academy program from representatives of Gajimu.com, Nadia Pralita and Achdiyati Sumi. The objectives, benefits, workflows and work processes in this program are explained in detail so that the participants who are program interviewers are expected to be able to explain back to their survey respondents about the background of why the Decent Work Check Survey is needed. In addition, the procedures and preparation process prior to conducting a Decent Work Check survey and a Covid-19 survey are also described in detail in this material.
Information on the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) database as well as various articles related to updated information on employment in Indonesia are also the materials provided in the training. Didit Saleh, a representative from TURC explained the need for interviewers to be able to understand about Data and Information. Participants are given an understanding that it is important to be able to cite or search for accurate, valid and credible data sources, sourced from official government websites/pages, for example: Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), Portal Satu Data Indonesia (data.go.id) or government ministries/agencies websites. In addition, credible data can also be obtained from several articles sourced on official non-government news sites, such as: tempo.com, kompas.com, tirto.id, Gajimu.com, turc.or.id, ILO, Lokadata and katadata.
Analysis of the data is a way to process data into information that is understandable and useful. In the Decent Work Check Survey (DWC) there are seven (7) employment topics that can be used as analysis material, they are: Work Security, Working Hours, Minimum Wage, Pregnancy, Occupational Health and Safety, Social Security, Fair Treatment and Freedom of Association. The participants were very active in group discussions analyzing the survey data by applying the material that had been given, namely:
- Determining and collecting problems based on existing data,
- Identifying and Determining Priority Issues/Problems,
- Formulating and Determining Problem Statements,
- Finding and Formulating Arguments,
- Formulating Alternative Solutions , and
- Conduct analysis of Stakeholders.
After group discussions on the analysis of survey data, the participants were also provided with knowledge related to social dialogue that could be used as an advocacy activity or negotiation. Various types of data that have been learned by the participants during this training can also be included as supporting data when carrying out advocacy activities later. The training was closed with a reflection on the overall training material. Training participants also received prizes as appreciation.
