This book is a study of workers activism and labour unions in the
eight years between the recognition of Indonesian sovereignty by
the Netherlands at the end of December 1949 and the nationalisation
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 incollective action.
