Arifin Asydhad/Heather, Jakarta – The National Front for Indonesian Labour Struggle (FNPBI) is planning a demonstration for workers from PT Kadera-Ar. They demand justice for the attack by hoodlums which killed one worker and injured others.

The demonstration is planned for 10am local time in front of the police station at Jl Gatot Soebroto. According to Tussie, the secretary of FNPBI in the Jabotabek area (Jakarta, Bogor, and Bekasi), the demonstrators are planning to gather in front of the Legal Aid institute, Jl Diponegoro, Jakarta.

After that, they will take a bus directly to the police station. She estimates that around a hundred people will take part. "Our group will not be large, as the action is just to show solidarity; so maybe about a hundred people," she said.

Tussie explains that the action is to stand against the attack on demonstrating workers by a gang of hoodlums at the PT Kadera-Ar factory in Pulogadung on Thursday and that the police have done no follow-up of the incident; they just calmed the situation at the time. "There were police there, but why did they only calm the situation? Those hoodlums had knives.

The police ought to have acted fast to confiscate those weapons," she says. The FNPBI also protests against the factory management, who she says don? care about their employees.

After the demonstration, the workers plan to visit the grave of the worker killed in the incident.
