Late last year, a worker employed by one of Indonesia’s leading fast food chains, Champ Resto, was hit by a family tragedy when his baby died because the hospital refused him essential medical care. The problem had been that the company had not registered its employees in the government health insurance program. When workers demanded they be registered, the company sacked over 80 workers and subsequently transferred another 14 union activists to other workplaces. The workers and their union, the FSMP, are still fighting almost a year later. You can send messages of solidarity here.
