<![CDATA[The dynamics of labor movements in Indonesia 1966 were shaped by the broader political and economic transformations that followed the 1965 coup attempt. The transition to Suharto's New Order regime brought about significant changes in labor relations, characterized by the suppression of independent unions and the prioritization of economic recovery over labor rights.

Post-authoritarian 1999 and since 2013, Labor Day has been declared a public national holiday by the Indonesian government.]]>
