Pasalnya, Gubernur DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan merevisi kenaikan UMP Jakarta 2022 yang semula 0,85 persen menjadi 5,1 persen. Padahal, rata-rata kenaikan UMP 2022 hanya sekitar 1,09 persen. Kalau dirupiahkan, kenaikan awal itu sebesar Rp37 ribu, jadi besaran UMP-nya sekitar Rp4,4 jutaan. Belakangan, direvisi menjadi Rp225 ribu-an, atau 6 kali lipatnya. Sehingga besaran UMP sekitar Rp4,6 jutaan. Tentu saja, keputusan ini membuat kelompok buruh bersorak. Tetapi, kalangan pengusaha jelas menolak.  Asosiasi Pengusaha Indonesia (Apindo) menyebut, keputusan Anies itu diambil sepihak dan tidak mempertimbangkan dunia usaha yang masih terpuruk karena pandemi.
