Jakarta – Around 150 laborers held a rally demanding a national minimum wage of Rp 1.2 million (US$133) at the Presidential Palace on Jl. Medan Merdeka Utara, Central Jakarta, on Sunday.

The labors work in industrial zones including Cakung in East Jakarta, Kampung Muara in North Jakarta and Tangerang.

Domingus Oktavianus, head of Indonesia's Labor Struggle National Front, said it had done a survey to determine how much the wage should be.

Police in Sawah Besar managed to prevent the rally from causing traffic congestion in the area.
