Duration January 2023 - December 2025
Goal
  1. Gauging labour law compliance at scale in factories across Indonesia, creating a database of 533 factories, up from the existing 150.
  2. Enabling individualised and collective worker representation in 190 factories with unclear union status.
  3. Creating and scaling new participation mechanisms for workers, both within factories and the larger garment sector
  4. Increasing representation and diversity in social dialogue in 533 factories, enhancing voices and priorities of women workers and other groups who have had little voice historically.
  5. Measuring worker priorities in a credible, comparable, and comprehensive manner to identify areas of work improvement and facilitate effective social dialogue in 400 factories, potentially benefiting 600,000 workers.
  6. Enabling and monitoring the progression from mini social dialogues to 130 collective agreements with conditions better than basic labour law.
  7. Encouraging 7 brands and 3 transparency platforms to use our method and data to monitor and influence working conditions, both within and beyond the scope of labour law compliance.
Description

This project is Phase III of WageIndicator's step-change approach to improve transparency on working conditions and enhance data-driven social dialogue in Indonesian garment factories:

Phase I: Transparency through Mobile Internet

Phase II: How Decent Is My Factory?

In this next phase, we will scale up this approach into many more garment factories, in more regions, using more channels to reach out. We are targeting 533 factories in West and Central Java, corresponding with 43% of factories in the Open Apparel Registry, including many without unions.

In addition, we will introduce the WorkerPriorityPoll surveys to enable workers a direct say on what issues are most urgent to solve, also giving more voice to workers who have been underrepresented historically, like women.

Finally, we will maintain a Social Dialogue Results Database, to gather and analyse the outcomes from meetings between workers and employers. This will help unions to become more effective in their negotiations, and allow us to monitor the degree to which all workers are represented and what progress is being made.

We support the use of all data with training. Now we will extend this to learning circles, as a scalable way to enable engagement and diversity of workers/factories to exchange and strategy at different levels.

To grow both participation and impact, we will reach out to brands and platforms
