Faisal, one of 1.300 workers at a company called PT Indonesia Wacoal, where GARTEKS obtained better rights, such as social security coverage: accident, death and old age insurance. Faisal: "Moreover, since 2015, management also agreed to provide pension funds to all workers. Paid holidays have been obtained. Short term contracts can become permanent by union recommendation or selection from management. A wage scale according to duration of employment is being practiced. Freedom of Association is formally recognized and respected by the owner." All these advantages led to 916 workers out of total workforce of 1.300 becoming members of GARTEKS.
KSBSI: Mesdi from PT Benua Perkasatama: "My company produces various crude palm oil based products and owns the world’s palm oil refinery in the world and is among the biggest players in the vegetable oil refining and soap manufacturing industries in Indonesia. I am the chair of the negotiation team which concludes collective bargaining agreements for the plant level union affiliated to KSBSI. KSBSI helped me a lot to conclude better CBAs through training and exchanges with other unions. Visits of from the national level leadership also showed our management the support we could count on. Even other trade unions came which gave more visibility to our demands and they could provide us with advice and assistance to find solutions to our problems. After the CBA negotiation, our members reap the benefits: improved working conditions, better social security coverage, minimum wage is respected, workers receive meals and transport allowances and occupational health and safety equipment are being provided at the factory."
