Workers are partners
\nof their companies<\/p>\n
President Soeharto appealed to workers to resist being easily
\nincited by third parties in labor disputes and to insist on
\nsolving problems with management through negotiation. The
\nPresident also urged entrepreneurs to readily apply the
\nregulation obligating companies to pay the minimum wage to their
\nemployees.<\/p>\n
The labor incidents in Medan were deplorable. Irresponsible
\nelements used the opportunity to create chaos and turned the
\nworkers' demonstrations into riots, mass brutality and terrorism.<\/p>\n
In the ensuing situation all parties concerned should take
\nPresident Soeharto's appeal seriously in order to ensure
\nfavorable working conditions and to enhance production capacity.
\nGreediness on the part of businessmen will only incite labor
\nunrest, particularly in large industrial towns.<\/p>\n
The demonstrations and strikes of late could have been
\nprevented if the Pancasila Industrial Relationship had prevailed.
\nThis relationship rules that workers and entrepreneurs are
\npartners who pursue a common goal. All companies must make sure
\nthey know what the Pancasila Industrial Relationship is all about
\nand to apply it.<\/p>\n
