Freeport Indonesia's labor union plans not to continue with a tripartite mediation involving the government and is seeking to discuss the matter directly with the company in order to end the month-long strike, union spokesman, Juli Parorrongan, said on Friday.

"We plan not to continue the mediation (in Jakarta) and will go home to the job site in Timika and seek bipartisan mediation [with the company]," said Parorrongan, adding that the union was disappointed with the talks.
