On September 10 the Workers Challenge Alliance (ABM) held a demonstration at the state palace in Jakarta, demanding that the government set a standard national wage. The action involved more than 100 people from several ABM-affiliated labour organisations, including the Indonesian Trade Union Action Committee (KASBI), the Indonesian Labour Union Confederation (GASPERMINDO), the Indonesian Automotive Trade Union (SPOI) and the Indonesian National Front for Labour Struggle (FNPBI). Protesters also oppose the government's implementation of neoliberal policies at the behest of international financial institutions, such as cutting subsidies to electricity, fuel and water. Demonstrators called for the cancellation of Indonesia's foreign debt and the nationalisation of natural resources and vital assets.
