Same as previous years, demonstration act will colorize the Labor Day or May Day in the capital city and thousands of labors to go down to the street on Thursday (5/1).
We urge our friends, the labors, to convey their aspirations but please without anarchy
For that, Vice Jakarta Governor Basuki T Purnama asked the labors not to damage public facilities or even do anarchic act. “Do not let a pot broken, that is community property,” he said, Wednesday (4/30).
Basuki pleased the labors to convey their aspirations. But, do it peacefully and politely. “We urge our friends, the labors, to convey their aspirations but please without anarchy,” he uttered.
May Day, Thousands of Labor Get Down to City StreetsCommenting on the labors’ demand for 30 percent raise in Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) in Jakarta, Basuki admitted that he will not dispute it. “If the KHL (adequate living standards) considered still small and the labors wanted some components to be raised, the demonstration should be addressed to Manpower and Transmigration Ministry, not to me,” he stated.
