UNGARAN, Central Java: Around 230 workers of PT Golden Flower,
a garment company, staged a strike yesterday, demanding a wage
increase to Rp 3,000 a day in line with the government-set
minimum wage level.

Sutrisno, representing the protesters, said they were paid
only Rp 70,000 per month, or around Rp 2,300 per day.

"The company should pay us Rp 3,000 per day, or Rp 90,000
monthly," he said.

The workers are demanding that the management provide them
with health, transportation and food allowances as well as
overtime pay. (har)
