Strike At The Slaughterhouse
Monday, August 17, 2015

His prices are far lower than those the Association of Indonesian Slaughterhouses (APPHI), have been complaining about. They say they are striking because the price of beef has soared to Rp120,000-130,000 per kilogram. But Widodo is not willing to risk earning the enmity of his associates. The middle-aged man has now decided not to sell. "I have to join in the strike. That's the order from the top," he told Tempo last Wednesday.
