The standards are supposed to be universally applicable and universally applied. In the case of Indonesia, about half of the total population subsists through self-sufficient agricultural activities and the rule of the government has a very limited effect on them (Soemardjan 1993, translated by Nakamura 2000). Furthermore, half of the Indonesian non-agricultural labor force is in the “informal” sector, and the absence of collective action and written contracts among home-based batik tulis workers in Java is problematized as requiring social protection (Mehrotra and Biggeri 2002: 16). For example, as well as the absence of other protection measures Mehrotra and Biggeri found that the home-based female batik workers did not have a women’s collective, and concluded that the workers need to gain bargaining power by collective action in order to increase the gain (ibid.: 49, 66-9). Thus the question I would like to pose is about how the workers so far manage the absence of such protection rather than about the formalizing of the “informal” sector, nor the extension and enforcement of the universal standards by law. Do the workers themselves share the opinion that these standards will create good working conditions for them? Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
