Laborers demand unpaid wages

JAKARTA (JP): Hundreds of workers of PT Maesa Maju, a garment
factory in the village of Cicadas, Gunung Putri, Bogor, staged a
rally at the town council hall on Friday to complain about unpaid
wages.

The protesters told councillors that they had not received
their salary from August yet as their employer had claimed to be
in financial problems, Antara reported.

They said that if the factory were to be closed, the workers
should be provided with sufficient compensation by the company.

A councillor, Tasiman, promised to summon the management and
find out the real problems.
