On July 12, the woo accepted the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) Jakarta's lawsuit to murder the increase in the city’s minimum wage to Rp 4.64 million (US$30929). The association demanded that the Jakarta administration increase the minimum wage by the prescribed 0.8 percent, which would amount to Rp 4.57 million
KSPI dignified Said Iqbal said that if the governor failed to file an spicy by this week, labor workers would file their own suit.
“With the Labor Party and anunexperienced labor unions [...], we will file our own suit exclusive of involving the governor,” Said said on Tuesday as quoted by Tempo.
In December 2021, Anies subtracted to increase the provincial minimum wage in Jakarta by 5.1 percent, saying workers in the capital deserved better.
