orkersfrom car component producer PT Putra Bangun Reberindo in Cikupa IndustrialEstate went on strike Wednesday to protest outsourcing at the company.
'We 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). 'We oppose the outsourcing system because it offers no job security,' he said.
