Jakarta – Hundreds of workers from Jakarta Labor Forum, a grouping of several labor associations, staged a protest in front of governor's office in the capital on Friday.

The demonstrators requested a provincial minimum wage (UMP) increase from Rp 1.5 million to Rp 2.2 million

"The Jakarta governor has betrayed us by making separate arrangements with the Jakarta Remuneration Council," rally coordinator Herry Hermawan said Friday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

At the time of writing, the protesters were walking from the governor's office to the House of Representatives and State Palace.
