The role of Indonesian unions
KASBI, SPN, Garteks, GSBI and SBSI unions worked together for more than 18 months to draft and negotiate the region’s first FOA Protocol. In December 2011, the SPTSK KSPSI union also became a signatory. These unions collectively represent more than 700,000 factory workers in Indonesia. These unions continue to work together to monitor implementation of the protocol and ensure factory workers can access its benefits. Read reports from the factory floor
