Bonifasius S. Junedi Helling Saqi

Bonifasius is an officer at UCM-Jakarta, an organisation focused on urban factory workers in Indonesia. He primarily conducts research and organises campaign and advocacy activities on workers rights, working conditions and other issues. In addition, he publishes the newsletter and bulletin on workers issues. He is also an organiser and facilitator of discussion and training programs for workers unions. Recently, he successfully campaigned for an Adidas factory worker, Imas, to obtain compensation from the company. The campaign involved frequent contacts with other stakeholders such as government, trade unions, the employers and other NGOs, including the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC). Bonifasius is currently working on a project to increase the knowledge and awareness of migrant workers in relation to their economic situation and usage of their remittances. He hopes this program will enhance his skills in developing training materials. Bonifasius was a participant of the Human Rights Advocacy and Business Program in Jakarta in 2007.
