Abstract

Industrial relations disputes remain one of the most persistent problems in Indonesia’s labor governance, particularly regarding the fulfillment of workers’ fundamental rights. This study examines the issue of weak legal protection experienced by workers in industrial relations disputes, as reflected in the case of PT New Era Rubberindo Gresik, where workers’ rights to wages, severance pay, and social security were not fulfilled despite a court decision. The main objective of this research is to analyze the forms of legal protection guaranteed under Law Number 13 of 2003 on Manpower, Law Number 6 of 2023 on Job Creation, and Industrial Relations Court Decision Number 706 K/Pdt.Sus-PHI/2022, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of dispute resolution mechanisms in ensuring compliance with these provisions. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and case approaches. Primary data consist of labor regulations and the PHI decision, while secondary data consist of academic literature on labor law. Data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively to assess the consistency between legal norms and their implementation in practice. The findings indicate that legal protection for workers includes both substantive and procedural guarantees, but their implementation remains weak due to low corporate compliance and inadequate government oversight. In the case of PT New Era Rubberindo Gresik, the company failed to execute the PHI ruling despite having permanent legal force, demonstrating structural deficiencies in enforcement mechanisms. The study concludes that strengthening supervisory functions, applying firm administrative sanctions, and enhancing the role of labor unions are essential to ensure effective protection of workers’ rights in industrial relations disputes.
