Minister of\nManpower Yassierli attended the signing and extended congratulations to\nall employees and the negotiating teams. He hoped that the agreed PKB\nwould serve as a solid foundation for building harmonious, productive,\nand sustainable industrial relations. \u201cThe PKB is an important momentum\nfor the two main components of the company, namely management and\nworkers\u2019 or labour unions as representatives of workers, to synergise\nand collaborate in building a joint agenda. This becomes even more\nrelevant considering the challenges ahead that are not easy,\u201d said\nYassierli in a press release received by Kompas.com on Saturday\n(11\/4\/2026). On that occasion, Yassierli also expressed gratitude and\nprayers for PTFI, its workers, and the people of Papua. \u201cI pray that PT\nFreeport Indonesia continues to advance, and that the workers and people\nof Papua become increasingly prosperous,\u201d he stated. The signing of the\n2026\u20132028 PKB is the culmination of negotiations between PTFI management\nrepresentatives and the three workers\u2019 or labour unions. The series of\nactivities began with the reading and ratification of the rules of\nprocedure as a common foundation for conducting the dialogue process.\nThis was followed by verification, preparation of the rules of\nprocedure, until full agreement was reached after negotiations. This\nseries started on Monday (23\/2\/2026). \u201cThe PKB we signed today is the\n24th. That means, for 48 years we have had a PKB that is perhaps one of\nthe longest in Indonesia,\u201d said Tony. For information, the composition\nof the negotiating team consists of the PKB Negotiating Team from the\nemployer side numbering 8 people, the PKB Negotiating Team from the\nWorkers\u2019\/Labour Unions (SP\/SB) numbering 9 people, as well as the\nIndustrial Relations Guidelines Formulation Team (PHI) from each side,\neach numbering 9 people. Tony assessed that the PKB is an important\ninstrument in providing work protection, certainty of rights, and a\nmanifestation of the company\u2019s commitment to workers\u2019 welfare.<\/p>",
