| 2006 | | ILO violation 87 : Anti-union harassment continued at Securicor/Group 4 Falk in Jakarta where hundreds of union members were dismissed in May 2005 after a strike over terms and conditions. In June 2006, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the reinstatement of 262 fired workers, but Securicor management refused to comply with the ruling. Finally, after six weeks of delays, in July Securicor settled the dispute by paying all the aggrieved workers the legal severance pay plus an additional 11 months of back pay covering the period of the strike. There were no reinstatements.: India | ITUC-CSI |
