Victory in Indonesia!

Following a three-year struggle for union recognition and full bargaining rights, Indonesian workers have won a huge victory in their battle with Nestle. The IUF - the global union federation in the food sector - played a key role in a major worldwide campaign that went under the "Nespressure" slogan. As the IUF stated today on its website,

The agreement, which was initialed by the IUF and Nestlé corporate management on March 28 and signed by the union and local Nestlé management on March 31, sets the stage for the SBNIP to bargain the Panjang workers' collective agreement including the wage bargainingwhich Nestlé management had been steadfastly rejecting for years.
