Over the past two decades, trade union activity in Batam has been
heavily influenced by regional demographics, employment conditions
and the prevalent political scenario. Following the end of the New
Order in 1998, the single state-authorized union was fragmented,
giving rise to a number of new enterprise unions. Batam's young and
diverse immigrant population, with no pre-existing loyalties to
particular trade unions, made it a hotspot for industrial relations
activities. Low and stagnant workers' wages throughout Indonesia
and outbreak of social unrest resulted in the formation of three
strong national-level unions: FSPMI, KSPSI and the KSBSI. By the
mid-2000s, these unions were also active in Batam. Unsettled ethnic
relations resulted in escalation of labour mobilizations from 2011
to 2013. The Garda Metal (union member formation) spearheaded a
number of intense demonstrations throughout Indonesia, including
Batam, during this time. The 2012 mobilization was particularly
effective, and the union bodies were able to successfully negotiate
for significantly higher minimum wages for all workers in
Indonesia. After intervention by the Widodo government, and the
signing of a harmony declaration, there has been a change in the
unions' approach in demanding wages and conditions improvement.
Instead of addressing employment concerns through national-level
campaigns, matters are now to be resolved at the enterprise level.
While there are no visible signs of a confrontational mobilization
in the near future, a number of worker welfare issues remain
unsettled.
