A
bout 1,000 workers of PT Beasco Housing Maintenance, a subcontractor of PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI), rallied on Thursday at the entrance of CPI's Minas Field in Siak regency, Riau.
The rally was a repeat of a protest staged at the CPI entrance in Rumbai, Pekanbaru, on Wednesday.
The demonstrators planned to deliver a speech at the CPI entrance and paralyze production at the site.
'We will still express our aspirations to CPI, including the demand to reinstate 82 employees working for CPI's subcontractor,' demonstrator Sohib was quoted as saying by tribunnews.com.
CPI spokesperson Tiva Permata expressed hope that the problems between PT Beasco Housing Maintenance and its workers would be resolved amicably.
'CPI has no right to interfere in the internal issue of its partner companies. Despite that, CPI will continue to make sure that our partner provides its services in accordance with the contract and obeys prevailing rules and regulations,' Tiva said on Wednesday.
