S.H. YLBHI chairman and also to brother Munarwan, S.H. chairman
of KONTRAS who gives the guarantee to the judge to check my case.
For all your support I expect God will bless you all. I hope we
still unity as form of solidarity forever in fighting the exploitation.
Dear all of you,
I have done reflection while I was in woman jail Tangerang, so there
are three thing I need to say relates to labor struggle in Indonesia
in standing their rights.
Firstly, Government position in protecting the labor is not clear.
In this case I see that their function is no use. The government
just protects the employers. In could be proved by the laws, regulation,
and government decree are tend to see the employer needs. Between
the policy of the government and employer attitude to think that
labor is robot becomes to complete one each other and the result
is the labor situation worse. This type of character is new era
habit that still maintained till at present. Based on my experience
I can say that when a state is not able to guarantee its labor rights
they had violated the labor rights it is the same as criminal toward
the humanity.
The second, there is labor criminal process.
At the new era the approach done toward labor was military. This
way was very efficient for the government and advantaged for the
employer in getting the lucky without thing about the labor condition.
Even to the reformation government the violation toward the labor
still exists. There are two forms of the violation, they are as
follows: first by way of making the activity done by labor or trade
union as criminal acts. It is done by the employer with finding
the false article in the criminal code just like they accused toward
me, that was article 160 about agitation to run against the general
who has authority and criminal code of 335 about disturbed act.
In addition the employer also does the hardness act toward the labor
and trade union in doing their activities. The hardness done
by the employer is paying the other people to oppress the labor
and trade union. I become remember when we were doing strike at
PT. Panarub my friends were oppressed by freeman (paid people) it
almost the same as the military act developed by new era the different
only the doers.
The third, collusion between PT. Panabur, manpower department,
police, and public prosecutor.
The law doers, in this case police, judge did not do their job
professionally until I became accusation in the court. It could
I see that there was unusual things described false act in the frame
of sending me to prison. In addition manpower department of Tangerang
does not do their job well as institution that takes care about
labor. It makes question in my mind what happens in inside of this?
A glance can be seen that conspiracy is happening among several
people to make me as criminal victim as the board of PERBUPAS in
struggle the labor rights. They thought that by made me as victim
the other labors will be afraid of them later. It is really very
strange the labor who want to struggle their rights said as criminal
doer (criminal code of 160) disturbed act (criminal code of 335).
It is very easy for the police and judge to bring me into the jail
as a small people that wants to struggle its rights. Is my act more
than the corrupter’s acts that took the society money?
The strange things about this case and related to PT. Panarub they
never report me to the police is not right. Because there was in
police document No. pol.371/B/IX/2000/Res of Tangerang, 11th September
2000 stated clearly that there was report from Slamet Supriadi which
gave authority by the direction of the business Drs. Bernard, MBA
because the nation and international about my case they want to
be free from their act. So it was clear the happening the collusion
among PT. Panarub, manpower department, police and the judge.
Based on all things above I can make conclusion that:
1. What happening to me is money politic of PT. Panarub, manpower
department, police, and general prosecutor in frame of stopping
the right to associate.
2. What happening to me is describing the labor politic of new
era.
3. The struggle I have done not only for me and PT. Panarub’d labor
but as moral responsibility toward labor as a whole in running against
the exploitation.
4. I realize that all forms of exploitation toward the labor should
be fight by solidarity.
5. Struggle is sacrifice with long time to get result.
For this thing I demand to:
1. Republic Indonesia head police and attorney general to inform
for all people either at center and area level not to interfere
the labor case such as using article 160 and 335 of criminal code.
2. Ask to manpower department and transmigration to make special
team in investigating the employers who did oppression towards the
labors and trade unions’ establishment in the factory. Such as PT.
Panarub, PT. Sandrafine in Tangerang, PT. Citra Abadi Sejati in
Cileungsih, and PT. Sinarub Jaya Utama at Gunung Putri – Bogor and
others factories according to the law no. 21 of 2000 about trade
union.
3. Ask to all trade unions and NGOS either in national and international
to take care about the labor. And to make my case as agenda (labor
criminal victim) on the annual ILO session 5-12 June 2001 in Geneva
in order to ratify the ILO convention no. 87 about the freedom to
associate and protection toward the right to make organization be
really done by Indonesia.
4. Ask the national and international consumer institution
to insist the ADIDAS to do the code of conduct especially about
the guarantee for associating in the factory that produces ADIDAS.
It is the press conference I deliver for your attention I would
to say thank you ever so much.
Jakarta, May 23rd 2001
Yours truly
Ngadinah Binti Abu Mawardi.
