The KSBSI also urged government to implement Manpower Minister Regulation No.19/2012 about outsource recruitment system and to take firm actions against companies that violate regulations on the outsource system in state companies (BUMN).

Mudhofir said labors also demanded that the government should not increase premium gasoline price. They rejected Draft Law on National Security and Mass Organizations and demanded that the government decide May 1 as a national holiday.
The KSBSI asked the government to stop and eliminate union busting and criminalization of labors organizations.
