Workers protest on lay off plan

BOGOR: Around 200 workers from PT. SGI, a motorcycle painting business, staged a protest in front of Bogor's social and labor agency office on Monday.

The workers rejected the company's plan to lay off some workers who had joined the labor union at the company.

M. Rondi, a 32-year-old worker, said the rally was to protest against the management. They were planning to stay at the company, located at Jl. Pembina Rawa Haur No. 1 in Sentul, Bogor regency, overnight.

The agency itself has scheduled discussions with the workers on Tuesday. -- JP
