SPSI and labor productivity<\/p>\n
On Monday Feb. 20 the All Indonesia Workers Association (SPSI)
\ncelebrated its 22nd anniversary. Apart from wishing the
\norganization well, we could perhaps use the occasion to reflect
\non its role in the New Order era.<\/p>\n
Sharp criticism has often been addressed at this organization.
\nAt the same time -- though less publicized -- the SPSI has been
\nworking to raise the standards of professionalism among its
\nmembers and provided counsel to them. It has also promoted the
\nestablishment of Work Unit Boards and encouraged Joint Work
\nAgreements. SPSI has obviously also provided input for the
\ngovernment in its formulation of policies regarding manpower.<\/p>\n
We welcome SPSI's decision to use this date as a starting
\npoint for raising our workers' productivity levels. Aside from
\nthe fact that global competition is getting increasingly bitter,
\none of the complaints that is often aired against Indonesian
\nworkers is their low working ethos.<\/p>\n
For SPSI there is no other option but to encourage a climate
\nof partnership among employers and workers. High productivity
\nlevels can only be achieved in a climate of peace, mutual respect
\nand togetherness.<\/p>\n
