Profile of KASBI

Labor struggle gradually has shown its form. The protest actions have taken place in many industrial zones in Indonesia. The oppression on labors has been revealed. Labors have started to organize themselves in either many groups or unions in both local and national scale. We unite ourselves in KASBI (Committee of Independent Unions Action) to achieve the victory of Indonesia Labor Struggle. KASBI was founded on January 1, 2003 in Tangerang Banten. At a national meeting on June 18-20, 2004 KASBI has issued a basic convention and programs with a new structure. The meeting also brought us to a consequence of a new name that is Steering Committee of Congress of Indonesia Unions Alliance ( KP KASBI ). A year later, February 4-6, 2005 The First Congress of KASBI was held in Bogor, Jawa Barat. The forum was attended by a hundred of workers from 18 unions. They came from 14 municipals which are spread in 8 provinces in Indonesia. From that time organisation name was officialy changed into KASBI-Kongres Aliansi Serikat Buruh Indonesia (Congress of Indonesia Unions Alliance).
