1,500 workers rally in Tangerang

TANGERANG: some 1500 workers of PT Indorama, a garment
producer on Jl. Imam Bonjol in Tangerang, staged a rally at the
municipal administration office on Tuesday, demanding an
improvement to their welfare.

Accompanied by Tangerang Independent Association of Workers
(PBI) coordinator Aat Sukmana, the women workers arrived at the
office on Monday evening, spent the night there and staged the
rally on Tuesday morning.

"We have repeatedly discussed our demands with the
company management and made several agreements, but they've never
implemented them," Sukmana said.

He said that the workers had taken their case to the municipal
manpower agency and the legislative body, but the company
management still refused to fulfill their demands.

"We have now come to this office because we believe the
administration has the power to make the company's leaders,
CH Yun and Susana, approve our demands," he said. -- JP
