Indonesian workers continue to fight against outsourcing

Indonesian workers earlier this week, staged a militant demonstration outside the Japanese and south Korean embassies in Jakarta to protest against outsourcing practices of companies from these countries. This protest was only the latest in a protracted and continuing industrial campaign against outsourcing. Indonesian workers see outsourcing as a strategy designed to stop workers forming unions and part of the global ‘race to the bottom’.
