Securicor
It had been a tense few days,in which the union told us that police
were demolishing their camp at the Securicor Indonesia office and
arresting protesters.(See http://www.labourstart.org/ for a photo of
the Securicor Indonesia office,covered in banners and posters,as its
looked for the last month.)Then,after a long day of bargaining,the
union reported that the company had agreed to pay severance (2 x PMTK,
ie, double the minimum severance under Indonesian law) plus 11 months
salary to more than 150 workers who were illegally fired in May 2005.
Today,the company began handing over checks to the workers.More
information will be available soon at www.focusongroup4securicor.com.This is a huge victory for the union.To me, it really speaks to what
a strong group of workers can achieve with the support of a good union
federation,great lawyers,other domestic allies,and international
support.
