National Tripartite Meeting on Promoting Good Industrial Relations and Social Dialogue in the Oil and Gas Industries, which took place on 29-30 October 2007 in Puncak, Indonesia was attended by twenty three representatives from the Government of Indonesia and the Indonesian oil and gas industries. The meeting attendees recognized that social dialogue is more than regular dialogue between Governments, employers and workers. Social dialogue can create opportunities for government, employers and workers in the oil and gas industries in Indonesia. Outsourcing and contract work are of concern to the oil and gas industries in Indonesia, because institutionalized use of atypical employment contracts may harm the reputation of the industries. And it may also prevent talented workforce members from entering the industries, as needed to keep the industries competitive and profitable. A recent emerging issue in the area of atypical employment is in-sourcing on the premises of the oil and gas companies. With the assistance of the ILO, the Government of Indonesia and social partners in the oil and gas industries will seek a means of addressing the problems and emerging issues around contract work in the oil and gas industries. The Government of Indonesia and oil and gas industries in Indonesia requested the ILO to regularly organize tripartite conferences, meetings and adequate activities in order to promote good industrial relations in the industries.
