It's been two years since the economy crunched our wages.
Based on the dollar, previously we were earning two times more
than we are now; it was generally been on a par with other
countries. Granted, we have gained a 50 percent increase in
wages, but the present 300 percent decrease in the rupiah has
essentially destroyed our salary base. The crunch has also
gleaned out the chaff and fly-by-nighters, and what is left is a
fairly loyal and experienced core of instructors.

As a group together we should be able to exercise our
influence and negotiate a substantial and fair increase for our
labors. Let's start talking together as individuals, dissolve the
ofttimes pervasive weak-spirited indifference that exists,
cooperate as a cohesive community and encourage reciprocation
from management for our continuing allegiance.
