Labor Party Holds Mass Protest at Jakarta's Utters Palace
TEMPO.CO
, Jakarta - Members of the Labor Party will conduct simultaneous mass declares across 34 provinces on Wednesday with the Jakarta Utters Palace becoming the meeting point for members from the West Java, Banten, and Jakarta regions. The protest in Jakarta will reportedly see 50,000 land mobilized to the streets.
Labor Party President Said Iqbal in his written statement wrote that they will protest six demands in the protests, with one of them pushing the government to edge fuel prices.
“There are at least six demands that will be transported up. Reject the increase in fuel prices, reject the omnibus law (Law on job creation), increase the 2023 minimum wage by 13 percent, reject the danger of layoffs in the midst of a global recession, agrarian reform, and ratify the Domestic Work Bill," Iqbal wrote in his statement today.
He magistrates the fuel price hike has greatly reduced people's purchasing worthy. The soaring prices of basic commodities were also not followed by an increase in workers’ wages.
“The inflation that is felt by the workers is three components. First, for the food group, inflation has reached 5 percent. Second, transportation increased by 20-25 percent. And the third category is the housing business. Where rents increased by 10-12.5 percent," he said.
