AbstractEntrepreneurs innovate their individual business organizations not only to deal with production and price risks, but also to cope with the risk of sanctions or penalties imposed by society's laws and regulations. More specifically, labor-intensive agricultural firms, faced with potentially large fines for violation of immigration and labor laws, increasingly modify the organization of their firms by shifting the management of routine seasonal labor jobs to independent farm labor contractors. The use of labor contracting is further intensified because of the effectiveness of labor contractors in the recruitment of illegal aliens.

Vulnerable Workers

Why do farm workers become more vulnerable as countries get richer? As countries get richer, the share of workers employed in agriculture falls. In richer countries, hired farm workers do ever more of the work on the fewer and larger farms that produce most farm commodities. These hired workers include local workers who lack the skills and contacts needed to get nonfarm jobs that usually offer higher wages and more opportunities as well as legal and unauthorized migrants from poorer countries who may not know or exercise their labor-related rights. Government enforcement of labor laws depends on complaints, and vulnerable workers rarely complain. The Prosperity Paradox explains why farm-worker problems often worsen as the agricultural sector shrinks and lays out options to help vulnerable workers. Analysis of farm labor markets in the US, Mexico, and other countries shows that unions and fair trade efforts to protect farm workers cover a very small share of all workers and are unlikely to expand quickly. Most labor-intensive fruits and vegetables are eaten fresh. Unsafe food that sickened consumers led to voluntary industry and later government-mandated food-safety programs to ensure that food is safe when it leaves the farm, with protocols enforced by both government inspectors and buyers who refused to buy from noncompliant farms. This food-safety model offers the most promise for a new era in protective labor policies.

<p>Anti-discrimination is known as equal opportunity and treatment which is the right of every citizen in each aspects of life. The principles of anti-discrimination must be included in every product of legislation, including the employment regulation for persons with disabilities in Indonesia. Anti-discrimination in employment regulation for persons with disabilities have been included in the Indonesian constitution. In addition, it has also been adopted in various articles on legislation,regulating about employment for persons with disabilities, namely Law Number 3 of 2013, Law Number  19 of 2011 and LawNumber 8 of 2016. In substance, the law that guarantees the rights of persons with disabilities in a number of laws and regulations in Indonesia is sufficient. However, the regulation in Law Number  13 of 2003 on The Labor Law is not yet clear. Adjustments need to be made on Law Number  13 of 2003, Law Number  19 of 2011, and Law Number  8 of 2016. The need for the many provisions of labor laws that have not been implemented, thus it requires affirmative action to realize equal opportunities in all aspects of life and livelihood for persons with disabilities.</p>

Laws And Regulations

All government and development policies and actions must ask permission for human rights to a good and healthy environment. There should be no more policies contained in laws or regulations under those laws that debate pro-environment constitutional provisions (green laws) or with the reinforcement of other policies that are nuanced environment or green must be in accordance with the laws and regulations. The invitation (green legislation) addresses the mandate in Article 44 of Law Number 32 Year 2009 concerning PPLH. Green work is made a bridge to make future labor laws that are truly approved, so changes to the laws and regulations in the field of employment need to be done. Therefore, decent and environmentally friendly work is linked to the Millennium Development Goals 1 (poverty commitment) and the Millennium Development Goals 7 (environmental protection) which are complementary and not in conflict with each other. Development of Manpower Law conceptualized Green Jobs, to be effective in the midst of society, the change in law must consider three provisions namely; 1). The change in law was not carried out partially, the change must be resolved, more to the doctrine, norms that are not in accordance with the times. 2. The change must also be included in the way it is applied. 3). It must also be adhered to the rules (rules) that are in accordance with the philosophy of life of the Indonesian people in the hope that the agreed rules can be obeyed by the community, then in those rules (rules) there must be approval and endurance for that made by the government requested.

This study attempts to describe the juridical and historical aspects of the implementation of the Manpower Law, and this study aims to analyze the importance of the Omnibus Law "Cipta Karya" in Indonesia in Indonesia.. This research was conducted using descriptive and qualitative methods, through a library research approach. The results of this study indicate that the Omnibus Law “Cipta Karya” Bill was passed by the Indonesian Parliament. The bill is considered to have the potential to violate the rights of citizens guaranteed by the constitution because for the sake of investment, labor rights are secondary. Therefore, comprehensive and sustainable strategic efforts are needed to improve labor laws in Indonesia with reference to the mandate of Law Number 12 of 2011 in conjunction with Law Number 15 of 2019 concerning the Formation of Laws and Regulations that must contain consideration of aspects philosophical and juridical and sociological. Therefore, the Government and the House of Representative (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Republik Indonesia  - DPR RI)  must have a high commitment and political will in terms of the formation of labor laws and regulations based on the principles of clarity of objectives, the principle of appropriate institutional or forming organs. , the principle of clarity of formulation, and the principle of transparency

Regardless of what we may think of the Treaty of Versailles, we must admit that it contains indications of farsightedness and broad vision. Among these I include the Covenant of the League of Nations and the clauses relating to international rivers and international labor laws. But even apart from these groups of laws and regulations, the provisions of the treaty which aim to submit disputes arising out of an especially important part of the treaty to international arbitration constitute, from the point of view of international law and considered in an abstract way—that is, only with reference to their creation and their significance for the development of international law and international arbitration—a real accomplishment, the fulfilment of wishes expressed even before the war by such scholars as von Bar, Meurer, Wehberg and Ludwig Wertheimer. At the same time the creation of the arbitral courts in the sense of Part X, Section VI, confirms the fact that the tendency toward arbitral settlement of such disputes even as arise from treaties of peace, to which I already called attention before the war, has not been abandoned on account of the war. This was proved by the German treaties with the Eastern countries and is now again indicated by the Treaty of Versailles.

Occupational Safety and Health is the program to protect workers from the dangers of work accidents and occupational diseases that may occur during work. This study was conducted to determine the implementation performance of occupational safety and health program, to find out the obstacles during the implementation occupational safety and health programs, as well as labor laws and regulations relating to OSH on construction projects in Dili Timor Leste. This study collected data by distributing questionnaires to employees who work on the four (4) ongoing construction projects in Dili. Data analysis was carried out on Microsoft Excel which further processed the data using the mean count to determine the average value of the questionnaire and the standard deviation. This study found that the project in Dili has implemented the Occupational Safety and Health program. This can be seen from the overall results of the analysis with a mean value of 4.49 and a standard deviation of 0.473. From these results, it can be concluded that every construction project company prioritizes the implementation of OHS. The second result is the obstacles in applying OHS; from the analysis results show that the barriers from the worker side are rank 1 with a mean value of 2.90 and a standard deviation of 0.925. It can be concluded that many obstacles in implementing the OSH program occur from the workers' side due to the lack of awareness and knowledge of workers about OSH in working on construction projects. The result of the third analysis is Timor Leste's labor laws and regulations. The results of the analysis show that it is sufficient for companies to apply Law no. 4/2012 on employment in the areas of security, hygiene and health in the workplace.
