Jakarta (B2B) - The Confederation of All Indonesian Labor Unions (KSPSI) conveyed nine demands to the government and businessmen during a rally staged by thousands of workers in front of the Merdeka Palace, here on Friday.

They rejected the low-wage policy and called for the revocation of the Presidential Instruction No. 9/2013, which they believe is not conducive to the well-being of the laborers and workers.
The workers also demanded that outsourcing contracts should be annulled, in line with the Manpower and Transmigration Ministrys Decree No. 19/2012.
The implementation of the health insurance scheme under the BPJS program should also be improved, the Confederation demanded.
