<![CDATA[PT IMIP is one of the Indonesian Government’s flagship nickel industrial estates, widely presented by the government as a strategic industrial estate that contributes significantly to the national economy. Despite its economic significance, the industrial estate continues to face serious labor concerns, especially regarding workplace safety and the recurring occurrence of fatal accidents. This study explains how labor pacification operates within industrial relations in PT IMIP under the Omnibus Law on Job Creation regime. Using Richard Hyman’s theory of state intervention, pacification refers to a mechanism through which the state manages, contains, or suppresses labor conflict in order to preserve industrial and socio-political stability.

Labor pacification in this context does not primarily occur through direct repression, but through structural mechanisms that lead workers to accept and tolerate precarious and unsafe working conditions.]]>
