SERBUK/FKUI is planning a 28 April online campaign with photos, videos and other tools developed by members in 5 regions. The union will also provide a seminar with safety training at PT Bukit Muria Jaya (Karawang, West Java) as the company is a signatory to the occupational health and safety declaration. Finally there will be a mass action in Jakarta with various GUF affiliates and various NGOs including INA-BAN to raise the issue of the Amendment to the Rotterdam Convention.
Global building unions’ federation BWI has announced the 28 April plans of its Indonesia affiliate SERBUK that will hold area-based rallies and a national social media campaign.
The Federation of Forestry, General Industry, Timber, Agriculture and Plantation of the Indonesian Prosperous Labor Union (HUKATAN) signed three Declarations on Healthy and Safe Workplaces today with PT Wirakarya Sakti, PT. Lontar Papyrus Pulp, and PT. Indah Kiat Pulp and Paper covering 9,577 workers!
SERBUK-affiliated PT BMJ Workers Union and the management of PT Bukit Muria Jaya (BMJ) jointly signed a declaration recognising the need for healthy and safe workplaces. It is the first declaration signed in the Asian region since BWI started the campaign as part of this year’s commemoration of International Workers’ Memorial Day on 28 April.

APHEDA Executive Officer Kate Lee reports on International Workers’ Memorial Day activities in the Asia/Pacific region.
“Tomorrow, on International Workers’ Memorial Day, we will be remembering our sisters and brothers around the globe who have died or been injured while at work.
“And in this time of crisis, we are highlighting the life-saving work of workplace health and safety campaigners who are stopping the COVID-19 pandemic in their workplaces and communities.
“Across the globe, our partner unions and community organisations are mobilising to help spread quality information on how to stay safe from the virus.
“In Indonesia, our partner organisation is working with low-income neighbourhoods of street vendors, waste pickers, and home-based workers, and they are providing life-saving protective equipment to high-risk workers.
“And in Thailand, our partner organisation is on the airwaves broadcasting crisis updates to communities of migrant workers who cannot otherwise access quality information in their own language.
“Tomorrow, you can take action on International Workers’ Memorial Day by sharing a social media message in support of the front-line workers who are helping stop the spread of the Coronavirus.
“You can also show your solidarity with workplace health and safety activists in vulnerable communities by contributing to the Union Aid Abroad – APHEDA Coronavirus Solidarity Fund.
“If you have already made a donation, tomorrow please share the appeal on social media with your workmates, friends, and family, as we remember our loved ones and our workmates who have lost their lives at work.
“In Unity, Kate Lee
Executive Officer”

I am Kiting from Indonesian Construction Workers Union (SBKI) and I am an informal worker
I hope for K3 (Occupational Safety and Health / OSH) to be the main issue because K3 is a human right and therefore can not create a safe workplace
BWI affiliates can make the K3 related issues their key issue
(Français)
Je suis Kiting du SBKI (syndicat des travailleurs de la construction en indonésie, membre du SERBUK) et je suis un travailleur informel.
Depending on the quotes, there are questions on the santé et la sécurité au travail (SST; également appélée K3 en Indonésie), the principal author of the mondial car il s’agit d’un droit humain, à même de garantir la sécurité du lieu de travail.
J’espère que tous les affiliés de l’IBB pourront faire de la K3 leur priorityité absolue.
Longue vie au SERBUK.
(Español)
Soy Kiting, del SBKI (Sindicato Indonesio de Trabajadores de la Construcción, miembro de SERBUK) y soy un trabajador informal.
Espero que el K3 (cuestiones sobre salud y seguridad ocupacional) sea el principal as well as el mundo entero porque el K3 es and Derecho Humano y, por lo tanto, el K3 puede lograr un lugar de trabajo seguro.
Misperanza es que to dos los afiliados de la ICM puedan hacer que las cuestiones en torno al K3 se conviertan en su tema clave.
¡Qué viva SERBUK!
(German)
I’m Kiting from the Indonesian Construction Union SBKI (a member of SERBUK) and I work in an informal employment relationship.
I hope that health and safety at work (health and safety at work, Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja or K3) will become a major issue around the world, because health and safety is a human right and therefore K3 can contribute to a safe workplace.
My hope is that all BWI affiliates will prioritize K3-related topics.
Long live SERBUK
