Trade unions in Indonesia are mobilizing workers by the thousands to protest the 2020 Omnibus Bill, which significantly undermines many labor protections won under the 2003 Labor Law. President Jokowi Widodo argues that more labor flexibility is necessary to attract foreign investment. Workers note that the promise of increased prosperity comes directly at their expense. The Real News reports from Jakarta.

Hanya KASBI yg memahami penderitaan Rakyat Pekerja💪💪
They want Indonesia to become a socialist nation…. work contract is up to the company and the employee to agree upon…..
This is one backward step.
Indonesia is a litmus test for Labor Law rights removal, it is an attack on the working class.
Free bali bali is hindu majority
It seems that Indonesian's business community has too much clout as to labor legislation, akin to conservatives' taking away Americans' rights, but we fight and vote.

Not to straight, your channel. Why deactivate the comments in some of the video's ? A bit coward, to my sense.
Sorry for this actual post, nothing to do with it,I apologize.
We’re all in the same boat aren’t we? Solidarity from the similarly authoritarian UK to our Indonesian friends.
South Korea protests are not mentioned on local news. 😂😂
The deep bassy sound outweighs the voice-over's hushed tones.
The Artificial Intelligence robots are stealing your jobs
As soon as Governments get involved in things they usually go to shit.
Where's America standing up for these human rights. Oh we're busy and Ukraine sorry. Nothing to do with human rights everything to do with power
This is a worldwide phenomenon.
Big business has taken control of everything and governments sign the papers and look the other way as their countrymen suffer.
💚
Omg this is the first time I see foreign media cover this. Thank you so much for covering this. Indonesia's left wing movement is basically dying with little support from the general public and zero support from the government
Solidarity of LIARS CLUB MEMBERS CALLING THEMSELVES CITIZENS? Idiots.
PROTESTING DOES NOT DO ANYTHING. STOP VOTING, STOP PAYING TAXES, STOP PROTESTING AND GET YOUR OWN $HIT TOGETHER YOU IDIOTS.
