Pekanbaru – Hundreds of cleaning staff subcontracted to Chevron Pacific Indonesia rallied outside the company's premises in Pekanbaru, Riau, for a second day on Tuesday.
The protesters have accused the United States energy company of ignoring a dispute between the workers and Indonesian cleaning contractor Flaro Surya Sepakat.
A worker who refused to be identified told Antara that ESS had laid off dozens of workers and removed the benefits of existing workers without consulting those affected.
A spokesman for Chevron said though it respected the position of the workers, the company had nothing to do with the dispute.
