Workers and Democracy is a study of worker activism and labor
unions in the eight years between the recognition of Indonesian
sovereignty by the Netherlands at the end of December 1949 and the
nationalization of Dutch assets in December 1957. It contributes to
a re-evaluation of the era of liberal parliamentary democracy in
Indonesia. The focus is on the agency of workers and the
structures, strategies and industrial campaigns of unions in the
context of intense ideological conflict, competing union
federations, the opposition of employers to collective action, and
the efforts by the Indonesian state to manage industrial conflict.
The imposition of martial law in March 1957 was the deathblow to
parliamentary democracy and to the freedom of workers and unions to
engage in collective action. It was not until Suharto's 'New Order'
regime collapsed in 1998 that Indonesian workers regained the
freedom of association and the right to engage in collective
action.
