The GSBI Experience in Indonesia

2003-10-01
Emelia Yanti MD
 
The relationship between companies and their workers, even now in Indonesia, is an unfair economic reality. Low wages, lack of social security, long working hours, as well as companies implementing inhumane practices are all problems that continue to arise in this relationship. It is because of this that a working class movement is a must, to strive for our rights and benefits as companies will never be kind enough to give these themselves; rather workers must struggle to attain them.

AN INDONESIAN UNION REPRESENTATIVE ON CODES

2001-02-01

Emelia Yanti

The livelihoods and conditions of factory workers in Indonesia are constantly undermined. There is never any improvement in working conditions despite repeated attempts by the workers in accordance with existing laws embodied in International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions which are designed to protect workers.

Owners have created codes of conduct (CoCo) - a new type of regulation for workers in the garment and shoe sectors. However CoCos have not resulted in any real changes in working conditions of the workers.

QUESTIONING THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM IN POST-SOEHARTO INDONESIA

2000-09-01

Selma Widhi Hayati and Munir

The Politics of Labour Policy

The government's labour policy is determined by an economic system that places capitalist growth above all. This enables the capitalist system to continually reproduce itself because capitalist growth requires state protection, which the state provides through legal and political systems. The state thus presents itself as the guarantor of economic growth as well as the guardian and key player in the economy.
