Kapanlagi.com - Nia, as the domestic worker agency, finally revealed the chronology of the tension that occurred at the residence of Erin Wartia some time ago. She claimed to have made efforts to approach persuasively but received an unpleasant response.

"I am just the agency, and I have come, I repeatedly said I had come in a good manner, but she refused, right? Even expelled me like that," said Nia when met in the Kemang area, South Jakarta, Thursday (4/6/2026).

Tension reached its peak when Nia returned to the luxurious house accompanied by police personnel. She was forced to take this step because she felt her safety and that of her workers were under threat.

"I also came with the police, and I was still kicked out, so what should I do? That's all I can do," she said.

2. The Beginning of Legal Issues

This legal issue arose from the breakdown of social relations between Erin and her domestic helpers. Issues of personal belongings being withheld and allegations of physical violence were the main triggers for the police report filed at the South Jakarta Police Station.

Nia strongly denies the employer's claims stating that Herawati ran away or fled from home inappropriately. She emphasizes that the process of her worker's return was an official pickup due to reports of violence.

"So actually it's not fleeing, not fleeing, it's just because she was picked up. Not fleeing, okay, let me explain," she said.

4. Obligation to Protect Workers

As an agency, Nia feels a moral obligation to protect every worker she places with clients. She feels sad to see this conflict end with a drama of eviction in front of law enforcement officers.

"As the agency, it's my responsibility to bring my workers home if they experience violence," she asserted.
