JAKARTA: Indonesian trade unions threatened to stage a national strike next month after a committee in parliament agreed to move ahead with proposed labour reforms in President Joko Widodo’s controversial “Job Creation” bill.

Global investors are watching the bill closely to see that its terms have not been watered down in parliamentary debates, as South-East Asia’s largest economy tries to compete for manufacturing investment relocating from China.
