The implementation of labor strike rights: Between freedom and order in Indonesia

ABSTRACT

This research aims to investigate and know about the implementation of labor strike rights, between freedom and order in Indonesia. The methodology of this research is normative legal research using a qualitative descriptive approach, and data collection techniques using library research techniques. The results of the study indicate that a labor strike occurs when unjust labor practices occur in which workers/workers hold their jobs to protest against employers who are considered to have violated the applicable labor laws. Workers who strike because of unfair labor practices cannot be legally dismissed or replaced permanently and this is guaranteed by law in Indonesia. However, some efforts are needed to navigate the potential for a labor strike that can be carried out by improving the quality of working life in the company. Through the implementation of the quality of work life, it is hoped that workers will feel involved in the workplace. If there is a problem at work, the workers/workers want to be heard by the company's leadership, and they want to know that there is a fair settlement process as regulated by the prevailing regulations and laws so that this is the best solution to prevent and deal with labors to strike rights.
