<![CDATA[Unilateral termination of employment (PHK) has become a crucial issue in the dynamics of the Indonesian labor market, particularly following the enactment of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. This study aims to analyze the principle of justice in the practice of unilateral layoffs through a critical legal approach. This approach is used to examine whether the provisions of the Job Creation Law reflect substantive justice for workers or actually strengthen the dominance of employer interests. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and conceptual approach, and qualitative analysis. The results show that although the Job Creation Law claims to provide flexibility in industrial relations, in practice it has the potential to weaken legal protection for workers experiencing unilateral layoffs. Therefore, a more balanced policy formulation is needed so that the principle of justice can truly be realized in the employment relationship between employers and employees.]]>

<![CDATA[The provisions regarding social security for workers, previously regulated by Law No. 40 of 2004 concerning the National Social Security System and Law No. 24 of 2011 concerning the Social Security Administering Body, have been significantly amended by Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. The purpose of this study is to examine these normative changes from a legal perspective, focusing on their impact on the defense of workers' rights. Normative legal research employs legislative and intellectual approaches. Through a literature review of laws and regulations, court decisions, and legal documents, data is analyzed qualitatively. According to the study, the modifications outlined in the Job Creation Law, particularly those related to the unemployment insurance program, could result in a loss of legal certainty and a decline in workers' social security standards. Furthermore, the concepts of social justice and legal certainty are questioned by the introduction of more flexible social security in the context of investment interests. Therefore, to ensure that social protection for workers is maintained within the context of national economic development, it is necessary to strengthen its derivative legislation and implement a strict oversight system.]]>

<![CDATA[The way society communicates has changed significantly as a result of advances in digital technology, particularly how ideas are expressed on social media. The rise in online defamation claims is one legal issue arising from the ease of access to information. The purpose of this essay is to examine the crime of defamation on social media from a legal perspective, using provisions from the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the Criminal Code (KUHP). Using a normative approach, it is found that the two legal instruments differ significantly in terms of the elements of the crime and their sanctions. Furthermore, it remains difficult for law enforcement to distinguish between insults and freedom of expression in defamation cases, particularly those related to criticism of public figures. To curb such violations, this essay also emphasizes the importance of restorative justice strategies and improving digital literacy. Thus, in the digital age, it is crucial to strike a balance between safeguarding freedom of speech and preserving individual dignity.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the legal protection of domestic workers (PRT) in Indonesia through the aspect of legal certainty. The study results indicate that legal protection for domestic workers remains very weak, due to the absence of specific regulations that explicitly regulate their status, rights, and obligations. Existing regulations, such as the Manpower Law, do not directly accommodate the needs of domestic workers because the long-initiated Domestic Worker Protection Bill has not yet been passed. This condition creates an uncertain legal position for domestic workers and makes them vulnerable to various forms of rights violations, exploitation, and violence. International comparisons show that Indonesia still lags behind in building a fair and inclusive protection system for domestic workers. Therefore, strategic steps are needed to develop comprehensive regulations and provide legal certainty to effectively protect the basic rights of domestic workers. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more just and sustainable legal policies for domestic workers in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the practice of outsourcing in Indonesia as a form of hidden exploitation in employment relationships. Initially intended to improve company efficiency and create workforce flexibility, outsourcing often creates serious problems related to the protection of workers' rights. Many outsourced workers face status uncertainty, inadequate wages, limited access to social security, and even discrimination compared to permanent workers. These conditions demonstrate the potential for exploitation that contradicts the principles of social justice as mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and labor norms. The research method used is a normative juridical approach with a statutory and conceptual approach. Legal sources include primary legal materials in the form of relevant laws and regulations, particularly Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower and its amendments, Constitutional Court Decisions, and other derivative regulations. Secondary legal materials in the form of doctrine, labor law literature, and previous research findings are used to enrich the analysis. The results indicate that outsourcing regulations in Indonesia still leave room for ambiguity that companies can exploit to oppress workers. Inconsistencies between laws, government regulations, and on-the-ground practices weaken workers' bargaining power. This research confirms that outsourcing practices that fail to address worker protection principles have the potential to become a form of hidden exploitation, necessitating consistent law enforcement and the formulation of policies that better support social justice and worker welfare.]]>
