<![CDATA[Changes to labor regulations through the Job Creation Law have created new dynamics in the protection of workers’ rights in Indonesia, particularly regarding the balance between investment interests and the guarantee of workers’ constitutional rights. This study aims to examine the regulations governing the protection of workers’ rights before and after the enactment of the Job Creation Law and to analyze their legal implications for industrial relations. This study employs a normative legal research method using both a statutory and a conceptual approach. Legal sources include primary sources such as laws and regulations, secondary sources such as books and academic journals, and tertiary sources such as legal dictionaries. Legal materials were collected through a literature review and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of the study indicate that prior to the enactment of the Job Creation Law, labor regulations placed greater emphasis on legal certainty and worker protection. Following the enactment of the Job Creation Law, there has been a shift toward greater flexibility in employment relationships, which has resulted in reduced legal certainty, particularly regarding fixed-term employment contracts (PKWT), outsourcing, termination of employment, and the wage system. These changes have led to increased vulnerability and a weakening of workers’ bargaining power in industrial relations.]]>
