50,000 to gather in Jakarta over job creation law despite social distancing measures

ONE of Indonesia’s biggest labour groups, the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI), intends to hold a massive protest against the omnibus Bill on job creation following the House of Representatives’ decision to start its deliberation during the coronavirus pandemic.

KSPI president Said Iqbal said yesterday that the protest would be held in mid-April involving 50,000 workers throughout Greater Jakarta in front of the legislative complex in Senayan, Central Jakarta.
