Workers protest outsourcing

W

orkersfrom car component producer PT Putra Bangun Reberindo in Cikupa IndustrialEstate went on strike Wednesday to protest outsourcing at the company.

 '€œWe oppose the outsourcing system and we demand the management pay workers in accordance with the minimum wage,'€ said Muis, chairman of the All-Indonesian Workers Union (KSPSI), who led the industrial strike.

Muis revealed that 200 workers had been recruited and employed on the basis of a contract that had to be renewed annually and only 40 have had their permanent status.

Ten of the contract-based workers would be dismissed because their contract had been already extended twice (the maximum). '€œWe oppose the outsourcing system because it offers no job security,'€ he said.
