Abstract

The trade union is a forum to voice and drive the workers' struggle to claim their rights, both economic and political rights. The dynamics of trade unions move in line with the struggle of the Indonesian nation to fight for and defend independence. So that in the pre-independence era, labor unions were socially oriented and expanded to political orientation in the Old Order era. This situation is inversely proportional to the era of President Soeharto. The New Order government through the All Indonesia Workers Federation (FBSI) as the sole forum for trade unions tried to intervene in the labor movement.

Keywords: intervention, labor union.
