History

The Center for Industrial Relations and Labor Protection Studies was originally founded in 1998 with the name Center for Employment Law Studies, abbreviated as “Puskumnaker”. “Puskumnaker” was founded in the spirit of freedom of association for trade unions in Indonesia. This is because in 1998, Indonesia ratified the ILO Convention concerning Freedom of Association for Workers (ILO Convention No: 87/1948 concerning Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organize) made in 1948 and ratified in 1998). Since the ratification of the ILO Convention on Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organize, various Trade Union organizations have been established in Indonesia, whereas previously there was only one Trade Union Organization in Indonesia, namely SPSI (All Indonesian Workers Union). The Employment Law Study Center was founded by the late Mr. R Goenawan Oetomo, SH. MBA who is also a senior and lecturer in Labor Law at the Faculty of Law, Universitas Trisakti University.
