Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen speaks to the workers demanding higher minimum pay
and better employment benefits
Tens of thousands of people are protesting in Indonesia against government
plans to delay its planned increase of the minimum wage.
Said Iqbal, a union labour leader in Jakarta, the capital, told Al Jazeera on
Wednesday that workers are continuing to demonstrate because they "need the
government to implement a health insurance and pension system for all
Indonesians".

Many workers say that higher salaries are needed to cope with the rising cost
of living, including housing prices.
Many employees have yet to receive a pay increase because employers are still
negotiating with the government over the matter, causing delays.
The fresh protests come a day after the government decided to raise minimum
salaries by about 40 percent - to about $200.
Massive demonstrations by unions demanding a fairer share of the country's
economic growth, which stands at more than six percent, led to the national
wage increase.
However, some companies in Indonesia say the rise in labour costs is causing
the country to rapidly lose its competition to others like China, and lead to
higher unemployment.
Employer organisations warn that up to one million workers could also lose
their jobs due to the minimum wage increase and more than 1,300 factories could
also close down.
Despite complaints from employers, labour unions say that minimum wages in
China and Vietnam are still higher, but they do admit that the productivity of
Indonesian workers should be increased.
