Unionized workers to protest at Gedung Sate, Bandung, Indonesia, Nov. 16. Increased security likely.
Workers affiliated with the West Java National Workers' Union (Serikat Pekerja Nasional, SPN) are planning to protest at Gedung Sate Nov. 16. The purpose of the action is to denounce Government Regulation (PP) No. 51 concerning the formula to calculate the minimum wage for 2024. The start time of the rally is unclear. Organizers are expecting over a thousand protesters to join the demonstration.
A heightened security presence is likely in the affected area. Associated transport disruptions are probable, especially if demonstrators march along or block roadways. Isolated scuffles may occur between police and activists, posing incidental risks to bystanders.
Avoid the protest as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near the protest site. Heed all official transport and security advisories
