BWI congratulates Muhammad Husain Maulana, a 29-year-old trade unionist, on his election as the General Secretary of SERBUK Indonesia for the 2025–2029 term. His election during SERBUK’s 5th Congress on 30 April 2025 marks a historic shift, placing young leadership at the forefront of the union's future.

Husain will lead SERBUK alongside the 37-year-old Abdul Gopur, who was elected as president. This forms a dynamic leadership that reflects SERBUK’s strong commitment to empowering youth. BWI Secretary General Ambet Yuson praised this direction, calling SERBUK “the energy of young people organising from the ground,” and a model for future union leadership, with 60 percent of its members comprised of young workers.

Since joining SERBUK in 2016, Husain has played key roles in organising, campaigning, and international advocacy, and joined many BWI activities and actions. He has recently represented SERBUK at BWI’s Global Youth Festivals, and is a member of both the Global Organising Academy (GOA) and the BWI Asia Pacific Regional Youth Committee. His work focuses on advancing young workers' rights in a rapidly changing world of work shaped by digitalisation and artificial intelligence.

BWI proudly supports Husain and celebrates this powerful example of youth leading from the front to build stronger, more inclusive unions.
