The masses also had time to light colorful flare guns during their demonstrations. After blaming the flare gun, the crowd was seen doing push ups.

"One music to burn the spirits of my friends who are still here demanding a decent wage and a decent living. Music from Endank Soekamti", said the man wrapped in silver-colored liquid on his skin from the command car in front of the DKI Jakarta City Hall Building, Monday, November 29.

Meanwhile, the workers raised their hands and waved in the air in front of the DKI Jakarta City Hall Office. They also shook hands with the police who were on guard while ending the demonstration.

"We are returning to Pulogadung. The joint convoy is heading to the Pulogadung industrial area. Our action is over, we are moving to the Pulogadung area", he said.

In their demands, the workers assessed that the determination of the 2022 Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) did not take into account economic conditions and inflation. The determination of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) in 2022 is considered very small, at IDR 4,452,724, when compared to 2021 at IDR 4,416,186.
