Jakarta – A five-day strike by thousands of workers at Indonesia's largest cigarette company Gudang Garam appeared to have ended on Monday.

"By noon, there were no longer workers on strike gathering in front of the factory but I cannot yet say whether the strike is over," said a member of the company's public relations office.

"I can only tell you that the workers are no longer visibly protesting in front of the factory." The strike by some of the workers at the Kediri plant in East Java began on May 30. They are seeking a 100 percent increase in basic salary, the AFP reported.

"Our demand is not a difficult one because Gudang Garam is one of the country's richest companies," one of the workers, Wanto, said.
