UNIONISTS AGAINST CORPORATE TYRANNY
FNPBI SEEKS INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
TO HOLD SECOND NATIONAL CONGRESS
JULY 23-27, 2000
As you might have heard before, FNPBI plans to hold its Second National
Congress from July 23 up to July 27, 2000. This should be able to involve
400 workers from all over regions in Indonesia.
However, it is very hard for FNPBI to cover these workers' need, including
transportation cost, from their workplaces to the congress' venue. The low
wages they received has not enabled them to spend part of it for other
needs. Also apart of the problem, is that this activity has not been
acknowledged as part of trade union activities. Therefore, it is hard to get
financial support from the company, if not to be fired or lost their daily
wages.
The total money we hope to raise is approximately Rp. 341,565,000 (or the
value of US $ 37, 952 and only little of this has been achieved. But then we
decide to put some priorities: what is the most important to gain during the
congress and it shall be the broader participation from the working class.
This is then related to the question of covering the whole or subsiding the
transportation costs which take about RP. 114,000,000 (or the value of US $
12,667).
Urgent action is required from all international unions, which have a
international consciousness of how important to build link and solidarity
among international working class. We wish no luxurious and expensive
congress but how the workers can get actively involved in the trade union'
movement in order to sustain the world economic situation and freedom of
association without any exceptional.
Give your support to us, now!!!!!
