The changing government in Indonesia since the Soeharto Regime's downfall in May 1998 has brought in opportunities for more freedom in Indonesian economic and social life. As one pillar of economic development, employment relations has also benefited from such a change. Through the abolition of the one union policy the new government provided wider opportunities for unionists to establish free and independent organisations. Rapid development of both numbers of labour union and their membership since 1998 serves as an indicator of this new era of Indonesia's social political climate. Ratification of several ILO's Conventions, especially the ILO convention No. 87 in June 1998, and new regulations on industrial relations indicate that new development on employment relations has really took place. The FSPSI, formerly known as the only workers unions endorsed by the government, now has to admit other unions' presence. Yet in some cases, the FSPSI is still superior to other unions, for example, in number of affiliates and provincial networking. Also, it seems that the quality of members in some new established labour unions has not matched the requirement needed to take advantage of the freedom of speech and freedom to associate offered by the new government. In this regard, a greater understanding of Pancasila Industrial Relations (PIR) by the new established labour unions might help them solve their problems.
