JAKARTA: A major Indonesian labour coalition is demanding an 8.5% to 10% increase in the minimum wage for next year, higher than the 6.5% hike set by President Prabowo Subianto for this year.

The Coalition of Trade Unions and the Labour Party (KSP-PB) said that the union’s demand is based on Constitutional Court Decision No. 168/2023, issued last year.
