Wage confusion leads to lay-offs in Indonesian footwear industry

The organisation’s president, Eddy Widjanarko, has told local media that the main reason for the lay-offs is a lack of clarity over wages. He said increases in the minimum wage this year, along with higher energy bills, had pushed up production costs.
Aprisindo has said it would like wages to rise in line with inflation with employers able to add an additional 5% or 10% at their own discretion.
