TEMPO.CO, Solo – A total of 10,665 workers of the textile giant Sritex have been terminated, per January to February 26, 2025, as court declared the company bankrupt. The workers came from four companies under the Sritex Group: PT Sritex Sukoharjo, PT Bitratex Semarang, PT Sinar Panja Jaya Semarang, and PT Primayuda Boyolali.
Slamet Kaswanto, the coordinator of the Sritex Group Workers’ Union, confirmed the number. “Yes, that’s roughly the latest number,” said Slamet in a brief message sent to Tempo on Friday, February 28, 2025.
When asked further about the mass layoff faced by the workers, Slamet merely said he’s still attending a creditors’ meeting at the Semarang District Court.
