Jakarta – Dozens of former security guards of city-owned company PT Pulomas Jaya demonstrated in front of City Hall on Thursday, demanding of Governor Sutiyoso their severance pay.

Chairman of the Indonesian Independent Labor Union (SPMI) and coordinator of the demonstration, Sultoni, said the company had ignored the security guards' working hours, excluded them from the Jamsostek insurance scheme and denied them severance pay after it outsourced their jobs.

"The Sutiyoso administration failed to meet its contractual obligations and outsourced jobs, which was detrimental to the guards' future," Sultoni was quoted by Detikcom as saying.

He demanded the governor sanction the directors of PT Pulomas Jaya for violating the Labor Law.
