SINGAPORE/ JAKARTA (Reuters) - Violent protests by hundreds of workers at one of Indonesia’s biggest nickel smelters on Sulawesi island operated by PT Virtue Dragon Nickel Industry (PT VDNI) had “paralysed” its activities, the China-backed company said in a statement.
The protest, which saw 800 workers calling for higher salaries and permanent employment for contractors, turned violent on Monday, as workers torched vehicles and buildings.
“The rioting resulted in company activities being paralysed because the factory supporting equipment was badly damaged and about 40 heavy equipment and operational vehicles belonging to the company caught fire,” PT VDNI, a unit of China’s Jiangsu Delong Nickel Industry, said in a statement late on Tuesday.
