<![CDATA[Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower constitutes the primary legal framework governing labor law in Indonesia. Following the enactment of the Job Creation Law, significant changes have been introduced to the Indonesian labor law system. Various changes in labor regulations, including those concerning the employment of foreign workers, wage regulations, fixed-term employment agreements (PKWT), and termination of employment, are considered to have caused losses and injustice to Indonesian workers. This study aims to provide a perspective on labor regulations in Indonesia that are more equitable and proportional for Indonesian workers. The research employs a normative-qualitative method through a literature review, utilizing secondary data consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, as well as primary data as supporting evidence. The findings indicate that the Job Creation Law has largely overlooked aspects of justice for Indonesian workers by facilitating greater involvement of foreign workers, eliminating the time limit for fixed-term employment agreements (PKWT), establishing potentially biased wage-setting mechanisms, and allowing unilateral termination of employment by employers. This study recommends that the government reformulate the Manpower Law and separate it from the Job Creation Law.]]>
