Trade unions turned to the Constitutional Court to examine a law designed to promote privatization

Trade unions in Indonesia turned to the Constitutional Court to examine a 2009 law on electricity designed to promote privatization and market-based rules. While the Court’s decision agrees with the union’s stand, it appears to allow private sector participation under certain conditions. PSI will also help unions in Indonesia review the implications of the court decisions for other public services in the country, especially water, such that all public service unions can champion universal access to quality public services.
