The Coca-Cola Indonesia Workers Council (SBCCB, SBCCD and SPMCC) together with the IUF-affiliated FSBMM member unions organized a joint demonstration at Citibung factory to protest Coca-Cola Amatil and call on the company to reinstate the unfairly terminated union leaders and to end the ongoing attack on independent, democratic unions.

The Coca-Cola Company's recently published human rights report comes at a time of substantial slippage by TCCC in addressing human rights at the workplace, and specifically the right of all workers within the Coca-Cola system to freely form and join trade unions of their own choice and engage in collective bargaining with their employers. It evades the Company's real-world responsibilities when it comes to ensuring respect for rights on the part of its bottlers - who employ the vast majority of the women and men around the world who manufacture Coke-branded products.

The IUF-affiliated Union of Workers of Embotelladora Central SA (STECSA) has stepped up its protest actions in support of unions in Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia fighting for their independent and democratic union and bargaining rights.
