TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Tomorrow, Tangerang city will likely see a wave of protesters coming, as 30 labor organizations gear up to march a strike. The action is a call for Tangerang City Administration to increase the regional standard of salary, raising it from Rp2.7 million.
"As many as 200,000 labors are to flock the streets, aiming to take down Tangerang economic line," said Tangerang Movement coordinator Sunarno.
Sunarno said that labors from 800 companies in Tangerang will join the strike tomorrow. "We will sweep all industrial areas and close down Jalan Raya Serang," he said. "By closing the main industrial line, we have taken down Tangerang's main motor for economy."
