TANGERANG: About 1,000 workers of candy producer PT Super
Worldwide Foodstuff Industry went on strike on Monday at the
factory on Jl. Gatot Subroto Kilometer 6, to demand that the
management grant them a five-day working week.

"It's alright if we have to work on Saturday, but the
management should pay us overtime and not include it in our
monthly wages," one of the workers of Sugus candy producer, who
requested anonymity, told The Jakarta Post.
