On 12 April 2016, five permanent workers, together with 2995 contractual workers at Honda Prospect Motor (HPM), declared a new union, which is affiliated with Serbuk Federation. This union is as regulated by the Indonesian Law initiated by the workers of PT Honda Prospect Motor who has signed resignation letters from their previous union without coercion from any party and have filled in the registration forms of SERBUK HPM voluntarily and consciously. Five union leaders were interrogated and threatened for initiating the SERBUK HPM. They were suspended with the reason that they had committed ‘major offenses,' however, no details of those offenses were provided. After six months suspension, those five workers then were dismissed due to their organizational activities. After that, HPM Management allegedly also targeted the contractual workers who join the union, by not extending their working contract.
