Indonesia: Health workers cancel plans to strike nationwide June 14 /update 1

Event

Healthcare workers from five organizations, including the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI) and Indonesian National Nurses Association (PPNI), have canceled a planned strike across Indonesia June 14. Participants initially called the work stoppage to oppose the passing of the omnibus health bill, which they claim will undermine the role of medical associations. Organizers canceled the strike as the government has delayed passing the bill amid growing opposition against the legislation. Fresh strikes and related protests remain possible in the coming weeks.

Advice
