JAKARTA - A number of workers wore theatrical makeup during a demonstration in the context of International Labor Day or May Day in the Horse Statue area, Jakarta.

They came from the 'Secretary' labor union, wearing a pantomime style in the style of the company's boss, while his face was dressed like a proportion to wearing a pig mask.

"Maybe the term is different from the others so that it can be shared," said Irin, a member of Sebumi from Karawang at the demonstration site, Wednesday, May 1.

Irin said the company boss-style uniform she uses is also an illustration that there are still company officials who do not care about their subordinates.

"This is a company for a company boss. So this is a story if this person doesn't care about his subordinates who do unilateral congestion," he said.

The Sebumi labor union involved in the May Day action in the Horse Statue area amounted to approximately 40 people. In addition to dressing themselves, they also hold posters containing complaints of being workers in the country.

The efforts made by Irin and his fellow workers to attract attention so that what is voiced is easy to remember.
