Workers protest contract system
Workers protest contract system
JAKARTA: Some 2,000 workers of PT EDS Manufacturing Indonesia,
a cable producer on Jl. Raya Serang, Balaraja district, staged a
rally at the regency manpower agency office here on Thursday to
demand that the company's contract system for workers be
scrapped.
The workers, mostly females, filed a complaint with the office
because the company's management had not responded to their
demand although they had been on strike for five days.
Sriwati, who has been working for two years with the company,
said the workers also demanded a transportation allowance and a
leave allowance. In addition, they asked the company to allow
them to propose a work agreement between workers and the
management.
The company human resources manager Slamet said that the
management would dismiss the striking workers because the company
regulation only tolerated absenteeism for two days.--JP
