PT DI sues three workers for misconduct

BANDUNG: Bandung Police Chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Masguntur Laupe
said here on Wednesday that the police were still investigating
three employees of aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara Indonesia
for alleged misconduct during a demonstration at their work place
last month.

He said the investigation was carried out after the company's
management filed a lawsuit against the three employees identified
as Irianto, Suprim Pringas and Anthoni.

The police officer would not comment when asked to elaborate
on the trio's alleged misconduct during the demonstration.

He said that during the demonstration, the demonstrators
yelled at and verbally abused several senior staff, forcing them
out of the company's office.

"The three's misconduct has made the working conditions
uncomfortable. We have questioned around 30 employees who
witnessed the three's misconduct," he said here on Thursday.

The company's employees went on strike last month to protest
the management's failure to eradicate corruption and improve the
company's performance. The demonstrators also called on the
central government to reshuffle the management.

A.M. Bone, secretary general of the company's labor union,
said the workers would resume strikes if the three employees were
held as suspects in the case. --JP
