Public Advised to Seek Alternative Routes as Demonstrations Take Place at 3 Locations in Jakarta Today

Labor Demonstrations at 3 Spots

One of today’s demonstrations will be held by labor groups along Jalan MH Thamrin, Central Jakarta, specifically near the Grand Indonesia Mall.

KSPSI Vice President Ahmad Supriyadi previously stated that around 50,000 workers would participate, affiliated with the Indonesian Workers’ Major Struggle Coalition (KBPBI).

“A total of 50,000 workers, and the demonstration point will be on Jalan Thamrin Jakarta, next to Grand Indonesia,” Ahmad said during a press conference in South Jakarta on Tuesday (9/15/2026).

The labor participants are scheduled to arrive from regions including Tangerang Regency, Bekasi Regency, Karawang, and Purwakarta.

Some will travel by motorcycle to the demonstration site.

During the protest, the workers plan to deliver a petition to the government concerning the Employment Protection Bill.

“We will submit a petition to the Government of Indonesia, specifically to President Prabowo Subianto, containing demands about the contents of the Employment Protection Law as desired by the workers,” Ahmad explained.

In addition to the Sudirman-Thamrin area, protests are also expected near the DPR/MPR RI building and the Monas vicinity.

Therefore, those without essential needs in these three areas are urged to adjust travel plans and choose alternative routes to avoid potential traffic congestion.
