ILO Convention No. 87 guarantees the right of association for workers and also the right to strike is already a jurisprudence since 1952 by the Committee on Freedom of association. Employers , Workers and the Government when it approved the right to strike is included in the ILO Convention 87 .
1992 , first of all representatives of employers questioned and asked that the right to strike is limited and the conditions tightened .

In 2012 and 2013 , representatives of employer associations in the ILO Standards Committee proposes that the right to strike is not a part of ILO Convention 87. This possibility will also be continued in 2015 . For this we ask that the Government of Indonesia to reject Employers Association ’s proposal , so that they remain effective jurisprudence .

The right to strike is an integral part of the right of association and expression. In the Act of 1945 Section 28E ( 3 ) which states , " Everyone has the right to freedom of association , assembly and expression " . Thus Constitution 1945 directly and expressly guarantees freedom of association or organization (freedom of association ) , freedom of assembly (freedom of assembly ) , and freedom of expression ( freedom of expression ) . Besides, Law 21 of 2000 and Act No. 13/2003 has also guarantee right to strike . We ask the Indonesian government through its representatives in the ILO Convention to deny the right to strike removed from the ILO Convention 87. If the government does not support this request , the government has played a role alongside the Indonesian l Employers Association to kill freedom for workers and it violates the 1945 Article 28E ( 3 ) .
