The aim of this research is to investigate and comprehend the application of the principle of freedom of contract in providing legal protection for workers under indefinite-term employment contract (PKWTT) at CV Soloarsi Studio. The research employed normative methodology, involving the examination of library materials and secondary data. The findings of this research indicate that legal protection for workers can be categorized into three types: economic, social, and technical protection.
