Dear All,

HSBC-Jakarta is anti-UNION. More than 100 workers were dismissed in 1996, including all unionists, due to their struggle for the betterment. The union has been silent for long time. Era of ‘Reformasi’ encouraged few workers of HSBC to reactivate the unions by replacing the pro-HSBC leaders. o­ne of prominent organisers, Agus Wahyuni (Vice President of HSBC Union), was dismissed in November 2001. She has been fighting for 4 years in labour settlement committee, and just last week she appealed to supreme court. She has also brought the dispute before the Police for violation of freedom of association.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO REINSTATE AGUS WAHYUNI
