Mayor hails SPSI

TANGERANG, West Java (JP): Tangerang Mayor Djakaria Machmud
said yesterday that workers could develop a strong sense of
belonging if their employers treated them as valuable assets.

"A high degree of belonging could also be instilled in the
workers if companies could sell five percent of their shares to
their employees," Djakaria said after a ceremony here marking the
inauguration of the Tangerang Working Unit of the All-Indonesia
Workers Union Federation (SPSI).

The mayor said that the union should prove beneficial to both
employees and employers.

The office building of the federation branch is now being
constructed.

Meanwhile, organizing committee chairman A. Saragih said that
there are now 29 working units, 24 of which are in the industrial
and service sectors. (18/bas)
