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.

Pete Lusk
 
The old approach

Using emergency laws, the government went so far as to make it an offence to give food to watersiders’ families.

Anton Marcus and Melanie Brehaut
 
Introduction
 
Union busting in its worst form continues in Sri Lanka’s Free Trade Zones (FTZ).

Vijay Kanhere

In the case of SARS, the persons most at risk are health care workers. In the case of AIDS, health care workers are also at risk; workers in public hospitals are more at risk. These hospitals do not reject patients who contracted or who are suspected of contracting AIDS.
