Workers, bosses reject bill

JAKARTA: Around 100 workers and employers held a rally on
Wednesday against the social security bill, demanding that the
state pay the contributions to any such expanded scheme.

The rally took place in front of the national legislative
complex in Senayan.

Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) secretary-general
Djimanto said that the bill, if enacted, would increase the
burden on both employees and employers as it envisages the
premiums being partly deducted from employees salaries and partly
paid for by their employers.

The bill is slated to be endorsed before the current House's
term ends on Sept. 30. --Antara
