Candy workers want fewer working days

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.

The workers plan to continue the protest at the Tangerang municipal manpower agency office on Tuesday. --JP
