Strike leaders get fired

SEMARANG: A local union leader said that many workers who went
on strike have been fired by their employers once the disputes
were over.

"This is occurring at many companies in the province," said
Tambah Soedjio, head of the local chapter of the All Indonesian
Workers Union (SPSI).

Soedjio said he has referred these cases to the tripartite
labor mediating council, which comprises representatives of
workers, employers and the government, hoping that the strike
leaders can be rehired by their employers. (har)
