ICEM Indonesian affiliate, Federasi Serikat Pekerja Pulp Dan Kertas (FSP2KI), conducted training on collective bargaining and labour law from 4-5 July in Karawang with 30 participants. The union represents workers across the country’s pulp and paper sector.
The training was attended by workplace leaders of Asia Pulp & Paper’s PT Indo Deli, PT Graha Cemerlang, Asia Pacific Resources International’s (APRIL) Riau Andalan paper and power operations, and DSS Karawang.
The workshops had the expertise of Akhirnya Asfinawati, the leader of the legal aid service LBH Jakarta; Khamid Istakhori from the Congress States Labour Congress of Indonesia (KSBI); and Odie Hudaya from the Labour Working Group, an Indonesian workers’ training institute. FSP2KI shop-floor leaders were instructed on bargaining techniques and legal procedures as outlined under Peneltian Hukum Indonesia, the country’s legal information guide.
The union intends to provide follow-up training to the 30 participants in order to give maximum protections to trade union members.
