According to data from the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker), there were 157 cases of strikes in Indonesia during the January-July 2024 period.

These cases involved at least 17,683 workers and resulted in a loss of 141,464 working hours.

From January to July 2024, DKI Jakarta had the highest number of strike cases, with 36 incidents. These involved 850 workers and a loss of 6,800 working hours.

Following DKI Jakarta were East Kalimantan with 31 cases, West Java with 29 cases, and South Sulawesi with 11 cases. The remaining cases are shown in the accompanying graph.

Up to July 2024, Kemnaker did not record any strike cases in Aceh, West Sumatra, Jambi, Bengkulu, Lampung, Bangka Belitung, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), South Kalimantan, Southeast Sulawesi, Gorontalo, West Sulawesi, Maluku, West Papua, and Papua.

Based on the Minister of Manpower Decision No. 232 of 2003, a strike is a planned and jointly implemented action by workers and/or trade unions to stop or slow down work.

This decision states that strikes are a fundamental right of workers and/or trade unions, conducted legally, orderly, and peacefully as a result of failed negotiations.

In August 2024, more than 2,000 online motorcycle taxi drivers ("ojol") temporarily ceased operations on Thursday, August 29, 2024.

This strike was part of a demonstration held at the Ministry of Communication and Informatics office in Jakarta.

"We, on behalf of online motorcycle taxi drivers in Jabodetabek and throughout Indonesia, will not accept or take any orders (food, ride, and packages) on August 29, 2024, until a time yet to be determined," said Andi Gustianto, Presidium of the National Ojol Coalition (KON), in a statement reported by Kontan on Thursday, August 29, 2024.

In this action, they urged the government to revise the Ministry of Communication and Informatics Regulation Number 1 of 2012 concerning Commercial Postal Services for Online Motorcycle Taxi and Courier Partners in Indonesia.

They asked the government to evaluate cooperation with application providers deemed unfair, eliminate the economical fare program considered inhumane, and standardize the rates for goods and food services across all applications.

"We ask the government to legalize online motorcycle taxis so that they receive protection from the government and even the state," said Andi.
