Labour organizations in Indonesia were first initiated by Dutch employees during colonialism. Trade unions of Indonesian workers during that period had dual functions, i.e. to improve employment conditions and to organize national movements for independence. The trade unions were, however, rather weak, not only because their activities were being continuously monitored and limited by the colonial government, but also because they failed to find unity among themselves. After independence, the Trade Unions remained weak because they were not able to switch their activities from a political orientation towards a social-economic one. The conditions of union affiliation with a political party and of multiple trade unionism at plant level made the trade union movement ineffective. The Declaration of All Indonesian Workers' Unity on 20 February 1973 expressed by leaders of 21 Worker Organisations was very monumental, because it included several changes on trade unionism in Indonesia: (1) Each trade union should be independent; trade union should not affiliate to any political party; (2) trade union should be organised by industrial sector; (3) only one sectoral trade union can be established at one enterprise or company; and (4) the 21 existing trade union agreed to merge into Federasi Buruh Seluruh Indonesia (FBSI) or Federation of All Indonesian Trade Unions. However, during 25 years of its existance, the FBSI, which later be named SPSI, then FSPSI, has not given profound services and protection to its members. Along with the reformation era, there has been new changes on the trade unionism in Indonesia stimulated by ratification of ILO Convention No. 87 on freedom to organize. Ten new trade unions have been established. More than one trade union can be established at one company. These changes offer both opportunities and challenges.
