FSPM Launched Protest Action Against Unfair Dismissal at Genki Sushi Indonesia
Members of the IUF affiliated-Federation of Hotel, Restaurant, Plaza, Apartment, Catering, and Tourism Workers’ Free Union (FSPM) organized protest action to demand reinstatement of two union members at the well-known Japanese sushi restaurant chain, Genki Sushi, in Indonesia.
Union officers and founding members of Genki Sushi Workers’ Union, Sister Diana and Brother Ryan, were unfairly terminated after the franchisee of the restaurant chain, PT Agung Mandiri Lestari, announced store closure in early January 2025. Using efficiency reason, the company dismissed 4 permanent workers, who were all union members, while other 3 non-unionized workers were transferred to other outlets.
The termination of four union members was even more unfair by the fact that the company refused to give them option for transfer at a time when there are still a lot of stores that are experiencing staff shortages. The company also prefers to hire new recruits instead of reemploying the skilled and experienced workers.
In their latest protest on June 4, the FSPM also highlighted the company’s violation on social and health protection regulation by immediately stopping the contribution payment of workers’ government mandatory health insurance when there is no binding decision yet on their termination. This left the wife of one of the terminated workers had no health protection when she was five months pregnant and forced two union members to accept the unilateral termination with no choice.
FSPM members protested at the head office of PT Agung Mandiri Lestari, the subsidiary of MAP Group who is also the franchisee of Burger King, Starbucks, Subway and several other restaurant brands in Indonesia.
FSPM Gelar Aksi Protes Melawan PHK yang Tidak Adil di Genki Sushi Indonesia
Anggota Federasi Serikat Pekerja Hotel, Restoran, Plaza, Apartemen, Katering, dan Pariwisata (FSPM) yang berafiliasi dengan IUF menggelar aksi unjuk rasa menuntut dipekerjakan kembalinya dua orang anggota serikat pekerja di jaringan restoran sushi ternama asal Jepang, Genki Sushi, di Indonesia.
Pengurus dan pendiri Serikat Pekerja Mandiri (SPM) Genki Sushi, Sister Diana dan Brother Ryan, diberhentikan secara tidak adil setelah pemegang hak waralaba jaringan restoran tersebut, PT Agung Mandiri Lestari, mengumumkan penutupan gerai pada awal Januari 2025. Dengan alasan efisiensi, perusahaan memberhentikan 4 pekerja tetap, yang semuanya merupakan anggota serikat, saat 3 pekerja lainnya yang bukan anggota serikat dipindahkan ke gerai lain.
Pemutusan hubungan kerja (PHK) terhadap empat anggota serikat tersebut semakin terasa tidak adil saat perusahaan menolak memberikan opsi kepada mereka untuk dimutasi di saat masih banyak gerai lain mengalami kekurangan staf. Perusahaan juga lebih memilih untuk merekrut karyawan baru daripada mempekerjakan kembali pekerja yang terampil dan berpengalaman ini.
Pada aksi protes terakhir yang dilakukan FSPM di tanggal 4 Juni, FSPM juga menyoroti pelanggaran yang dilakukan perusahaan terhadap ketentuan perlindungan sosial dan kesehatan dengan langsung menghentikan pembayaran iuran BPJS para pekerja, padahal belum ada keputusan pemutusan hubungan kerja yang mengikat. Hal ini menyebabkan istri salah satu pekerja yang diberhentikan tidak memiliki perlindungan kesehatan saat ia sedang hamil lima bulan dan memaksa dua anggota serikat pekerja untuk menerima pemutusan hubungan kerja sepihak tanpa pilihan lain.
Anggota FSPM berunjuk rasa di kantor pusat PT Agung Mandiri Lestari, anak perusahaan MAP Group yang juga merupakan pemegang hak waralaba Burger King, Starbucks, Subway dan beberapa merek restoran lain di Indonesia.
