Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Thousands of workers will stage a rally outside the parliament building on Tuesday (Dec 8) to demand the revocation of government regulation on wage system.

At the rally, the workers who claim to be members of the Anti-Debt Coalition-Indonesia Labor Movement will urge the House of Representatives (DPR) to form a special committee to reject the regulation, President of the Confederation of Labor Union (KSPI) Said Iqbal said in a short text message on Sunday.

He alleged that foreign parties including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) intervened in the new wage system.

Under the new policy, the minimum wage will be decided based on the existing wage plus the inflation and economic growth rates as of next year.(*)
