Independent Union Workers of Coca-Cola Indonesia (SBCCSI) held a seminar on “Maintaining Job Security” on May 24-25, 2025 in Cisarua, Bogor, Indonesia in response to workers’ concerns about threats to job security. In this seminar, job security was defined comprehensively to include guarantees of job continuity, protection against structural changes in the company, certainty of workers rights, and guarantees of occupational safety and health. Participants identified various concrete threats such as automation processes that replace human labor, company restructuring, outsourcing practices, and regulatory changes that can have a negative impact on workers. In facing these challenges, SBCCSI share a multidimensional strategy to protect workers from unsecure job by collective approach through trade unions, increasing worker competence, and strengthening negotiation skills with management. This seminar also became an arena to convey workers’ expectations to companies to be more transparent in policy changes, involve trade unions in decision-making, provide skills improvement programs, and maintain workers’ rights even in restructuring situations. The continuity of dialogue between workers, trade unions, and companies is seen as the key to creating a stable and equitable work environment amidst the ever-changing dynamics of the industry.
SBCCSI President Dwi Haryoto provided material on understanding job security, layoffs and restructuring.
