JAKARTA. Thousands of workers rallied in front of the manpower office in Batam, Riau Island, causing traffic congestion along Jl. Raja Haji, Sekupang, on Monday, Antara news agency has reported.

Local labor union leaders warned on Sunday that 10,000 workers would strike on Monday in the lead-up to a nationwide strike planned for Thursday and Friday by a federation of national labor unions.

The workers pressed for an end to the outsourcing system of labor recruitment, a pay rise and improved social security. (The Jakarta Post)
