摘要

In the middle of various problems experienced by Indonesian migrant workers abroad, these workers have their own ways of dealing with the problems during the abroad, for example reducing their stress by joining religious activities, traveling, posting issues to social media (Widarahesty, 2019), and guyub that means gathering with the same ethnicity, religion, or local origin. In places like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, this guyub culture can form and build collective action that is able to provide advocacy to its fellow members, namely, to become a “union.”
