Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Tens of thousands of workers packed Madya Senayan Stadium to take part in the May Day Fiesta after previously demonstrating in the Horse Statue area.
The event, which is scheduled to include speeches from trade union leaders and a national speech by the President of the Labor Party, was opened with the national song Indonesia Raya, followed by a performance of the Saman Dance.
Appearing to give his first speech, General Chair of the Indonesian Farmers Union, Henry Saragih, said that the workers faced serious challenges with the presence of the Job Creation Law through the Omnibus Law system. According to him, workers, including farmers and fishermen, continue to fight for the abolition of these regulations.
“This law not only weakens and does not protect workers, but also farmers and fishermen,” he said, Wednesday (1/5/2024).
He also appreciated the presence of the Labor Party, which he considered a form of unity for workers in Indonesia. According to him, this has strengthened the struggle of the working class.
“Let's strengthen our struggle, workers, farmers and fishermen, to eliminate policies that are detrimental to us,” he stressed.
