Workers march for higher wages
- 9 years ago
Workers in Indonesia take to the streets calling for higher minimum wages on Human Rights Day.
A sea of about 1000 workers in color coordinated shirts amassed in Jakarta, further clogging the already congested traffic.
The workers want a pay hike of $234 a month from the current $220 per month.
Union leaders say there are still 49 million people living below the poverty line and are calling for a nationwide strike early next year if their demands are not met.
40 percent of the 240 million population survives on around $2 a day.
