The Confederation of Indonesia Prosperity Trade Union (KSBSI) is a national trade union center in Indonesia. It was founded in 1992 and claims a membership of 2.1 million.
ICTUR reports that the KSBSI has suffered from considerable state repression. In 1993 its national congress was broken up by soldiers just 40 minutes into the proceedings. As well, three activists were murdered, 250 arrested, and 2500 dismissed from employment in the first two years of its establishment.
