What about Kanindo workers?
SEMARANG: Central Java legislators have expressed concern
about the fate of some 11,000 employees of PT Kanindoteks, the
giant weaving company which is reported to be in dire financial
difficulty.
"If the report is correct, then the first thing we have to do
is to save the 11,000 workers," Tambah Soedjio, a member of the
province's legislative assembly, told The Jakarta Post.
Soedjio, who is also the chairman of the province's chapter of
the All Indonesian Workers Union, said he plans to summon the
management and union representatives of Kanindoteks to find out
about the actual condition of the company.
News about the financial problem surfaced last week amid
suggestions that the company, owned by Robby Tjahjadi, was being
bailed out by two companies, Texmaco and GKBI (Association of
Batik Cooperatives), because it could not repay its debts.
