\u201cWe have total cooperative assets \u2014 I calculated last night \u2014 of Rp\n1.9 trillion. So as a trade union, our cooperative assets, which we have\naccumulated, will be read out by the Chairman of the Advisory Board,\u201d\nAndi Gani said.<\/p>\n
He noted that this achievement demonstrates KSPSI\u2019s economic strength\nas one of the largest labour organisations in Indonesia and indeed in\nthe Southeast Asian region.<\/p>\n

As part of the 53rd anniversary celebrations, KSPSI will also hold a\nnumber of events across various regions, including in West Java and\nSurabaya, East Java.
