Boyolali workers reject contract labour, call for women workers' rights
Solo Post - May 1, 2011
During the action, the workers drove around the city on motorbikes starting from the National Trade Union (SPN) offices on Jl. Pahlawan and ending up at the Labour, Transmigration and Social Affairs Offices (Disnakertransos) where they were received by Disnakertransos head Ir Mulyatno and office officials.
After giving speeches at the Disnakertransos, the workers then continued the action at a number of companies in the Mojosongo and Teras sub-districts.
In their demands the SPN called for revisions to the Law Number 3/1992 on the Workers Insurance Scheme and Law Number 2/2004 on the Settlement of Industrial Disputes. They also rejected contract labour systems and called for the enforcement of labour laws and the fulfillment of women workers' rights. (fid)
