Enfoque: Un espacio para los animales

Through investigating unions’ and NGOs’ views on codes of conduct it became obvious that local actors considered the CoC to fall short in several aspects. Hence, new ways of improving workers’ rights are on its rise. By looking at one example, the Play Fair Alliance, we could identify collaboration between local actors and transnational companies to be crucial. However, this study has not investigated this collaboration further. Thus, we propose that future research explore the collaboration between local labor actors and international companies more in depth, in order to estimate the potential of this new way of addressing corporate issues connected to workers’ rights.

Having concluded that the relationship between Indonesian unions and NGOs is characterized by great ambiguity, we naturally question how this ambiguity can be reduced. Thus, we propose that future research investigate how the relationship between unions and NGOs can be improved. Furthermore, as we have started to develop a typology of union-NGO collaboration in Indonesia, it could be interesting to compare this typology with collaboration between unions and NGOs in other contexts.
