Indonesia: App-based drivers to protest near Gojek office in South Jakarta from 10:00 Dec. 18

Drivers to protest in South Jakarta, Indonesia, from 10:00 Dec. 18. Tight security, transport disruptions likely; scuffles possible.

Warning

Drivers of app-based services plan to rally outside the Gojek main office at Blok M of Kebayoran Baru in South Jakarta from 10:00 Dec. 18 over wage policies. The action is to denounce recent regulations by the company, and demand for increased involvement of employees in policymaking. Organizers claim a few thousand activists, including drivers employed by other app-based platforms, will participate.

Authorities will likely increase security deployment around the rally site. Imposition of traffic restrictions such as security cordons, diversions, and road closures is probable. Minor scuffles are possible, especially if police attempt to disperse demonstrators trying to bypass security barriers. Traffic disruptions are likely near the gathering site, especially if activists block or march on roads. Disruptions to delivery and ridesharing services are possible during the action.

Avoid the protest as a precaution. In the event of clashes, leave the area immediately for a secure, nongovernment building. Allow additional time for travel to nearby destinations; do not navigate roadblocks. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
