orkers will hold another two-day rally ' set to take place from Thursday to Friday - to demand a raise in the provincial minimum wage (UMP).
'The rally will be conducted because we think the current minimum wage does not make sense,' Indonesian Workers Union Confederation (KSPI) secretary general Muhammad Rusdi said as quoted by kontan.co.id on Monday.
Rusdi said the UMP, which had been set at Rp 2.2 million (US$187.6) per month for Jakarta, remained one of the lowest in Southeast Asia.
Workers in Thailand received at least Rp 2.8 million per month while in the Philippines, workers received Rp 3.2 million, he said, citing examples.
