Thousands protest low wages, social security law in Indonesia*
*ABC Updated November 23, 2012, 12:13 am*
Thousands of workers in Indonesia took to the streets today to
protest against low wages and a new social security law.
*
Up to 10,000 workers in Indonesia* took to the streets today to
protest against low wages and a new social security law that will
require them to pay for health services.
*
Nearly 20,000 police and soldiers were deployed* in the capital
Jakarta to watch over the demonstrations organised by Indonesian
labour unions.
*The unions say national healthcare should be the responsibility of
the government and lowly-paid workers should not have to contribute
two per cent of their wages towards the fund.
*
The chairman of the Indonesian newspaper Sinar Harapan, Aristides
Katoppo, says many workers are also worried their contributions
might be mismanaged by the bureaucracy.
*"One reason is that the workers do not trust if the bureaucracy is
in charge of the deduction that they will do it efficiently and
effectively and they charge that most likely it'll be a corruptive
practice,"* he told Radio Australia's .
The workers are also demanding an increase in the minimum wage and
the implementation of a government policy to stop companies from
hiring temporary workers without benefits.
These demands were the focus of a similar protest in early October,
where more than two million factory workers went on a one-day strike
across Indonesia.
Mr Katoppo says the government needs to take action to erase the
current perception that it pays more attention to the concerns of
employers than employees.
"I think the government should be taking a firm attitude, explain
the policy better and at the same time, show they have equal
attention or care for the workers' point of view, to negotiate with
the workers as well as employers," he said.
*
Factory workers in Indonesia earn an average basic salary of just
over US$120 a month.*
With the economy growing by 6.5 per cent last year, the cost of
living has been increasing, making it harder for workers to pay for
food and basic necessities.
*
The new governor of Jakarta agreed on Tuesday to increase the
minimum wage in the capital by more than 40 per cent - a move that
has prompted labour groups across the country to ask for higher pay.
