This study aims to determine the application of an integrated service system in several Central Java districts to protect Indonesian workers. This research uses the observational method. This study involved seven districts contributing to Indonesian workers in the province of Central Java. The sample districts include Banyumas, Cilacap, Pati, Kendal, Sragen, Grobogan and Wonosobo. The data were obtained utilizing field observations, interviews, quinones and literature studies, analyzed using the Miles and Huberman models, namely data reduction, data tabulation, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The study results show that the One-Stop Integrated Service also helps reduce Illegal Indonesian Migrant Workers and prevents document falsification. Limited Human Resources (HR) who can act as operator staff at LTSA office outlets are also a factor in the ineffectiveness of the One-Stop Integrated Service. This means that the presence of LTSA in various districts/cities in Central Java can facilitate the role of BP2MI in carrying out its functions. However, it cannot run effectively as a whole.

Isu pekerja migran bukan hal baru, namun masih isu yang aktual, karena masih banyak terjadinya sisi negatif berupa perlakuan yang tidak manusiawi terhadap pekerja migran. Dalam lingkup ASEAN, Indonesia bukan satu-satunya negara pengirim pekerja migran, namun terdapat negara lain dengan negara tujuan yang hampir sama. Permasalahan yang dialami oleh pekerja migran dari negara-negara tersebut pada dasarnya hampir sama dengan yang dialami oleh pekerja migran dari Indonesia. Penelitian ini mengangkat permasalahan, yakni bagaimana peran ASEAN dalam melindungi pekerja migran dan bagaimana kesiapan instrumen hukum Indonesia dan negara-negara anggota ASEAN lainnya dalam melindungi pekerja migran. Dengan menggunakan metode studi tekstual, didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa peran ASEAN dalam melindungi pekerja migran telah tertuang di Piagam ASEAN yang dielaborasikan ke dalam 3 (tiga) pilar Komunitas ASEAN, namun peran tersebut tidak dapat maksimal karena tidak terciptanya konsesus dalam penyusunan instrumen perlindungan hak pekerja migran. Rekomendasi terhadap kebuntuan tersebut adalah dengan membawa dan membahasnya ke dalam pertemuan Dewan Komunitas ASEAN, karena isu tersebut merupakan isu lintas komunitas. Peran ASEAN sangat tergantung kepada upaya masing-masing negara anggota ASEAN dalam merumuskan regulasi dalam hukum nasionalnya masing-masing untuk mengimplemantasikan instrumen ASEAN terkait perlindungan pekerja migran, namun hal ini belum didukung dengan peran negara anggota ASEAN yang relatif rendah dalam komitmen perlindungan pekerja migran.<p>The issue of migrant workers is not new, but still the current issue, because there were lots of negative sides in the form of inhumane treatment of migrant workers. Within the scope of ASEAN, Indonesia is not the only sending countries of migrant workers. There were other countries whose sending its migrant workers with similar destinations with Indonesia. Problems faced by migrant workers from those countries are basically the same as experienced by Indonesian migrant workers. This research discusses the problem, namely how ASEAN’s role in protecting migrant workers and how’s Indonesia and other ASEAN member countries legal instrument readiness to protect migrant workers. By using the method of textual study, it was concluded that the role of ASEAN in the protection of migrant workers has been stated in the ASEAN Charter elaborated into three (3) pillars of the ASEAN Community, nevertheless that roles cannot be maximized for there were no consensus in creating the protection of the rights of migrant workers instruments. Recommendation to the impasse is to bring and discuss it in the ASEAN Community Council meeting, because the issue is a cross-community issue. ASEAN’s role in implementing ASEAN instrument on the protection of migrant worker is dependent upon the efforts of each ASEAN member countries in formulating regulations in their respective domestic laws. Nevertheless, their commitments to the protection of migrant workers are relatively poor.</p>

Migrant Domestic Workers

There has been a surge of recent interest in the migration industries that facilitate the movement of migrants, particularly that of low-waged laborers engaged in temporary contracts abroad. This article extends this research to include migration brokers working in destination contexts, thus drawing analytical attention to the arrival infrastructures that incorporate migrants into host societies. Based on ethnographic research involving the employment agents who recruit women migrating from Indonesia to work as migrant domestic workers in Singapore, we use the concept of “translation” as a broad theoretical metaphor to understand how brokers actively fashion knowledge between various actors, scales, interfaces, and entities. First, we argue that through the interpretation of language, brokers continually modulate meaning in the encounters between potential employers and employees at the agency shopfront, reproducing particular dynamics of power between employers and workers while coperforming the hirability of the migrant worker. Second, we show how brokers operate within the discretionary space between multiple sets of regulations in order to selectively inscribe the text of policy into migrant workers’ lives. By interrogating the process of translation and clarifying the latitude migration brokers have in shaping the working and living conditions of international labor migrants, the article contributes to the growing conceptual literature on how labor-market intermediaries contour migration markets.

This study explores the role of the body in the making of a migrant worker-band and the potential for musical production and performance activities to reshape workers’ cultural subjectivities. A framework of reflexive embodiment is used to understand how musical production and performance activities shape the cultural subjectivities of migrant workers through three bodily processes: body as text/text as body, body as instrument and body in performance. By highlighting the bodily dimension, this article seeks to broadly engage with and advance scholarship on the nexus between cultural practices and the formation of working-class subjectivity, and to specifically enrich our understanding of the migrant workers in contemporary China. This alternative musical practice is a form of ‘musical resistance’ that is not only culturally remaking working-class bodies but also providing cultural resources for the solidarity of the working-class community.

Employee voice in China remains an under-researched topic from an industrial relations perspective. We investigated the relationship between family dependents (children and elderly) and migrant worker silence, with town-fellow organizations as a moderator, based on the data of the 2014 Guangdong Migrant Workers Survey. The findings reveal that migrant workers with dependent children are more likely to keep silent when their labour rights and interests are violated at the workplace, while family responsibilities for dependent elderly family members do not have significant impacts on migrant workers’ silence. In addition, town-fellow organizations weaken the association between family responsibilities for elderly dependents and silence. Our study contributes to the existing literature on employee voice and provides evidence on the role of town-fellow organizations in China as an informal, emerging institutional actor that regulates labour relations through their involvement in dispute resolution.

This paper examines how institutional dynamics among regulatory institutions affect the governance of the recruitment of Indonesian low-skilled migrant workers. Two institutional reforms have been made to create better governance for Indonesian migrant workers in the post-authoritarian era. One was the establishment of the National Agency for the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (BNP2TKI) while the other was the granting of greater responsibility to sub-national governments to supervise migrant worker recruitment. In spite of these institutional reforms, little progress has been made in the protection of Indonesian migrant workers. The paper reveals that the restrictive regulatory framework for the recruitment of migrant workers, which curbs private recruitment agencies, does not create better migrant worker governance. This regulatory framework does not take into consideration the horizontal relationship between the old and new institutions, and the vertical relationship between the central and sub-national governments. Horizontally, the institutional design of the proposed new regulatory framework has created institutional rivalry between the newly established regulatory actor and the old one. Vertically, the reluctance of central government to decentralise authority to sub-national governments has curtailed the ability of sub-national governments to perform a supervisory role in the recruitment process. These two inter-related factors have hindered the efforts to create a better recruitment process for Indonesian migrant workers.
