JAKARTA (JP): Over 1,000 staff members from at least 14 Hero
supermarket outlets in Greater Jakarta staged a rally in front of
the company's headquarters on Jl. M.T. Haryono in South Jakarta
on Wednesday.

The workers, still in their white and blue uniforms, demanded
a 50 percent hike in their monthly salary and the resignation of
expatriates at the firm.

Hero executives promised to meet the demands soon.

The workers threatened to stage another massive rally on
Thursday and said that they would invite their colleagues from
the other 26 outlets should the employers fail to meet their
demands again. (bsr)
