2006
ILO violation 87,98 : Forty-five union members, including the local union Chairman and Secretary were fired on 1 November at P.T. Fumira, a metal sheet manufacturer in Bekasi, Indonesia which is a joint venture of Nippon Steel Corporation, Mitsui & Co. Ltd, and an Indonesian company, P.T. Ragam Logam. Management refused to recognise the local union after it affiliated with the Indonesian Metalworkers Trade Union (FSPMI), an affiliate of the International Metalworkers Federation. The company also refused to negotiate a collective agreement and penalised workers by unilaterally cutting by 30 per cent a legally required annual holiday bonus. The company failed to follow legally required procedures for advance notice to employees and the labour court, and subsequently refused to comply with a decision by the district manpower office stating that the workers must be rehired.: Indonesia
