Jakarta – Around 500 workers of PT Doson Indonesia, a subcontract firm of the shoe giant Nike, held a demonstration on Wednesday in front of the BRI building, which houses the US firm PT Nike.

But unlike their previous demonstration, they could not enter the building as security guards blocked the area and installed barbed wire in front of the building.

They flocked to the slow lane of Jl. Sudirman in front of the BRI building, causing traffic jams and disrupting the traffic flow toward the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle.

The demonstrators came to protest Nike's decision to stop shoe orders from PT Doson. The decision has caused the bankruptcy of PT Doson and thousands of its workers have been fired.
