About me

Introduction In 2012 the industrial areas of Indonesia shook with the struggle of millions of workers. Toll roads were occupied, mass demonstrations were a common occurrence. Bosses were taken hostage. Workers were realising their collective power. Major wage increases were won and factory level demands were met quickly. Since 2012 the movement has faced some major challenges. Politically divided and facing harsh repression from the bosses and the State, the struggle has quietened somewhat. However, it still bubbles away and this blog aims to document some of those struggles. I hope these reports of Indonesian activists' bravery inspire resistance wherever you are.
