Several labor groups are intent upon holding nationwide rallies against the omnibus bill on job creation on April 30, the eve of May Day, as non-essential employees are still required to work as usual despite the COVID-19 outbreak.
Two large labor groups, the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI) and the Indonesian Labor Workers Assembly (MPBI) have announced their plan to hold massive protests in front of the House and the Office of the Coordinating Economic Minister on April 30, the day before May Day, which falls on May 1.
The most arrests occurred in Bandung, where police detained 619 people, mostly young men who were wearing black, following accusations that the group painted graffiti on cars belonging to labor union members who were also taking part in the Labor Day protests.
