JAKARTA (JP): The Ministry of Manpower has ordered its
\nregional office in Tangerang, 26 km west of here, to handle the
\ndispute between the management of a textile company and its
\nworkers.<\/p>\n
The conflict emerged after PT Jabatex, the textile company,
\ndecided to inactivate its workers while paying them 40 percent of
\ntheir salary.<\/p>\n
The workers rejected the plan and demanded a fair severance
\nallowance.<\/p>\n
Since the conflict had not been solved by yesterday the
\nMinistry of Manpower issued the order to its local office in
\nTangerang to settle the case, a press release of the ministry
\nsaid here yesterday.<\/p>\n
The laborers worked for PT Eka Agung Cemerlang until the
\ncompany moved to Bekasi, an industrial town 30 km southwest of
\nhere, last month. This company wanted to take the workers to
\nBekasi but most of them turned down the proposal. PT Eka Agung
\nCemerlang later transferred them to PT Jabatex. (03)<\/p>",
