According to the KSPI, dozens of companies outside of the aforementioned sectors
are still operating.

COVID-19 task force chief Doni Monardo has urged all stakeholders, especially
business owners, to comply with the regulations and follow the work-from-home
policy to make PSBB effective. Authorities believe office and factory activity would
lead to packed public transportation and would undermine PSBB.

The National Welfare Movement (Gekanas), another labor group, has affirmed its
plan to join the KSPI rally on April 30. Its leader Indra Munaswar said about 35,000
workers from industrial areas around Jakarta were expected to participate.

However, some labor groups, such as the Inter-Factory Laborers Federation (FBLP)
and the All-Indonesia United Workers Confederation (KPBI), have canceled their
plans to take to the streets despite the anger.

Instead of joining street rallies, the two groups have prepared alternatives that
include both virtual campaigns and crowdfunding activities to help those vulnerable
to the disease and its economic fallout.

"We've increasingly felt ignored by authorities because the House and the
government have agreed to deliberate the disputed bill. There is also no strict policy
towards employers who are still forcing us to work as usual without proper
protective equipment," said FBLP chairwoman Jumisih.
