SPC, Jakarta - Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) support the company's factories relocate to areas with a lower minimum wage. But the move is also not a little costly and takes time.
Apindo Chairman Sofjan Wanandi explain, at least the company should be able to invest in new plants, and leave the old mill.
"It costs a bit if they do not want to relocate the plant. Depending on its magnitude. Most do not have to make new plants, create or renting the building at his new place, "said Sofyan, was quoted as saying on Wednesday (01/09/2013).
Sofjan added that employers who intend to relocate the factory they even had to hire new workers in the relocation, and it will take a long time. Coupled with moving machinery in an old factory.
"They should make recruiting new workers there, they may not use the old workers, which they probably will. At least some of that was taken, "he said.
According to Sofyan, to relocate the plant takes at least 6 months to 1 year, until the plant can operate at the new place. "It was quite long too, about 6 months to a year," he concluded.
