[edit]Leadership
By 1955, Sjaman Harju Udaya was the chairman
of SOBRI, Budyarto Martoadmodjo the general secretary, Slamet Djojosumitro the
executive secretary and Ibnu Parna the
organising secretary.[1] By
1958, Slamet Djojosumitro served as general secretary, Ibnu Parna as first
secretary, E. Curdian as second secretary and Mansur Bogok as international
secretary.[5]
[edit]International affiliation
In October 1953, following the death of Joseph Stalin, SOBRI joined the World Federation
of Trade Unions. Moreover, in late 1953 SOBRI announced that it
would cooperate with the Communist Party
of Indonesia-dominated SOBSI.[4][6]
[edit]Membership
The strength of SOBRI was mainly concentrated
to Java.[1] In
1955, the total membership of SOBRI was estimated at around 30,000. As of June
1956, SOBRI had 39,936 registred members (However, SOBRI itself claimed to have
125,325 members at this juncture). By June 1957, SOBRI had 43,862 registered
members. By late 1957, Regional Labour Offices reported a total membership of
116,928. By March 1958 SOBRI claimed a membership of 281,000.[7]
[edit]Affiliated unions
As of August 1955, SOBRI counted with 14
affiliated trade unions. By the end of 1957, the number had dipped to eight. By
late 1958 SOBRI had nine affiliated unions.[8] The
SOBRI-affiliated trade union in the plantation estate sector was
Sarbupri-SOBRI, one of several smaller unions that had begun to challenge the
hegemony of the SOBSI-affiliated Sarbupri amongst the estate workers.[9]
[edit]Merger into FSBI
SOBRI merged into Federasi Seluruh Buruh Indonesia in 1973, as did all other trade union
centres in the country.[10]
