For workers around the world…… Thousands of demonstration
and industrial we have taken, but why do we still suffer ? Million of workers have been dissmissed and become jobless. The related authority (the office of manpower affairs, Depnaker) has always been "neutral" but in contrast they protect the interest of employers in many ways. Million of workers have taken many industrial actions, either in the hotel, supermarket, factories, mall, hospital, bank and other sectoral places but only a little of vitcory we win. The answer of all the question is : We are not united, and fighting together ! We do not have a strong solidarity ! Meanwhile, members of parliament has never paid attention to our working condition, instead they have been fighting each other to defend their political interest. These all may occur since the fake reformists, those who claim themselves to support the reform process, and the remnants of the old power (the New Order regime) still remain in power. So, is it fair to call them our representative? Of course NOT! Because we can not let the struggle for democracy become the toy of these clowns. Workers and the urban poor have to be the leader in the political struggle for democracy in Indonesia. We can see Gus-Dur governent ( as his confession ) can’t avoid of the pressure of IMF and other International Finance Institutions (IFI’s). With their capital, they push the government to cut subsidies for the people, such as fuel, electricity, health, education, etc. IMF and World Bank always push the government to pay the debt which is part of the legacy of the old power (Soeharto and his cronies). Almost half of the national budget (APBN) has been used to pay the debt only. The imperialist countries, which have controlled IMF and World Bank, have become more wealthy from the interest of the debt. That is why we have to condemn and fight against all imperialist policy that have been suffering the Indonesian’ people. We have to push Gus Dur to say "GO TO HELL WITH YOUR AIDS" as it was once said by Soekarno long time ago. Workers,…. This is the time of the economy and political crisis. We can’t give up the solution of all crisis to the political elite which have not been fighting for people’ prosperity. We cant solve all problems piece by piece, there is no prosperity without political struggle against remnants of old power, which is anti woker, anti people and anti democracy. Never be prosperity without condemning and fighting against all imperialist policy which is represented by IMF, World Bank and WTO. This May 1st, as the history of workers victory, has to be momentum for workers all country to binding together and call for our demands. We will celebrate our victory day, get all worker out of factory and be united in one line of struggle. Cooperate, Support workers who don’t have any capability to fight their employers. Together we will celebrate our victory day :
