Wokers plan to protest at the State Palace in Jakarta, Indonesia, Dec. 24, 26, 27. Tight security, disruptions likely.
West Java workers associated with the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI) and the Labor Party plan to stage protests in front of the State Palace in Jakarta Dec. 24, 26, 27. The action calls for the determination of the Indonesian sectoral minimum wage (UMSK) through West Java and the removal of a high-level government official. Organizers will likely announce the exact time of the protests at short notice. Unions expect around 50,000 workers to join the gatherings, though attendance levels will likely be lower.
Heightened security is likely near the protest site; officials may implement security cordons and roadblocks. Associated transport disruptions are probable. Security personnel may use force to disperse especially disruptive gatherings, potentially causing clashes. Localized business disruptions are possible.
Avoid protests as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. If clashes break out, immediately leave the area for a secure, non-governmental building. Allow for additional travel time near the gathering site. Follow all security and traffic advisories.
