Hundreds of Indonesian workers from the state-owned aircraft manufacturer rallied in January to oppose mass layoffs.
Instead of protesting at government offices, the workers headed for the zoo.
"It is useless to meet and negotiate with people who do not possess a conscience or logic," said rally coordinator Toto Siswantoro. "It is much better for us to meet with monkeys and apes."
The government plans to permanently lay off 6,000 of 10,000 employees. "It is clear that these monkeys and apes will not be able to provide us a solution," Toto said, "but at least they can make us happy and will listen to our aspirations."
