Workers stage protest

JAKARTA: Around 300 workers from PT Indo Panca Garmindo staged
a protest rally in front of the Central Jakarta District Court on
Jl. Gajah Mada on Wednesday demanding the court delay a verdict
on the company's bankruptcy.

Wearing blue uniforms, the workers also requested the court to
order the company to pay its 1,600 workers the wages owed to them
for the three previous months.

PT Indo Panca Garmindo, which operates in Pulogadung, North
Jakarta, owes around Rp 315 billion to five companies.

Chairman of the company's labor union Syafrudin said their
protest at the court was also to request the panel of judges to
order the company's director, Yanto Sukamto, to resolve the
payment problems.

"We haven't received our salaries for three months. We want to
know where we stand," he said. -- JP
