Legal protection for workers is a key aspect of ensuring that workers' rights are protected and social justice is achieved in the employment relationship. Basic labor rights, such as the right to decent work and equal pay, freedom of association, safety and health protection, and the right to legal protection, must be guaranteed and enforced by the legal system. This study discusses the importance of labor legal protection in Indonesian labor law. Article 27(2) and Article 28D(1) and (2) of the 1945 Constitution list the basic rights of workers as part of human rights principles that must be respected and safeguarded. However, there are challenges in realizing effective protection for workers, especially in the informal sector. For this reason, there is a need for efforts to raise awareness among workers about their rights, strict law enforcement against violations, and improved regulations and procedures to ensure that labor rights are fairly respected and protected. In this way, the legal protection of labor can contribute to the achievement of social justice towards employment relations and the welfare of workers more broadly.References
