Mere days away from the end-of-fasting-month celebration Idul Fitri, 40-year-old Rasmanah is becoming increasingly frustrated.

"Don't talk about THR (holiday allowance)even our salaries are paid in four installments," she complained when Tempo spoke with her at a mosque next to the plant, two weeks ago.
