Indonesia - PSI affiliate PJB union lead the campaign to stop government plan to lease-back Power Generator FTP1


The government plan to lease electricity network power generator assets to the private company as a way to fund investment for new infrastructure project!
And the union argued why the public should join the campaign that lease back is part of liberalisation or privatisation of electricity, the PLN in Indonesia. The privatisation would mean:
(1) Higher electricity prices
(2) A less reliable network with more blackouts
(3) Massive local job losses
(4) against the Indonesia constitution that electricity is essential service and should be under the government control and management
