PELANGGARAN HUKUM PERSAINGAN USAHA DALAM MEKANISME WHOLESALER PENJUALAN TIKET PENERBANGAN IBADAH UMRAH

Abstrak: Data terbaru menunjukkan bahwa jumlah masyarakat Indonesia yang melakukan perjalanan ibadah umrah mengalami peningkatan yang cukup signifikan. Hal ini memunculkan kerjasama di berbagai bidang, terutama pada bidang penerbangan. PT. Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. yang menjadi pilihan utama bagi PPIU (Penyelenggara Perjalanan Ibadah Umrah) untuk memberangkatkan jemaah umrah. Namun ternyata PT. Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. mengingkari komitmen kerjasama tersebut, dengan membuat mekanisme wholesaler untuk penjualan tiket penerbangan ibadah umrah melalui penujukan langsung yang tidak transparan, hanya kepada kelima wholesaler saja. Hal ini dipandang sebagai praktik diskriminasi terhadap PPIU lainnya dan tentu saja melanggar ketentuan hukum persaingan usaha pada Pasal 19 huruf d, karena melakukan penguasaan pasar dengan cara melakukan praktik diskriminasi. Selain itu mekanisme wholesaler penjualan tiket penerbangan ibadah umrah tersebut berdampak negatif terhadap pihak terkait yaitu, konsumen, biro dan agen perjalanan umrah lain, serta PT. Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. itu sendiri. Kata Kunci: Wholesaler; Tiket Penerbangan; Ibadah Umrah; Praktik Diskriminasi; PT. Garuda Indonesia. Abstract: The latest data shows that the number of Indonesians who travel for Umrah has increased significantly. This has led to cooperation in various fields, especially in the field of aviation. PT. Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. is the main choice for PPIU (Umrah Worship Travel Organizer) to dispatch Umrah pilgrims. However, it turns out that PT. Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. denying the commitment to cooperation, by establishing a wholesaler mechanism for the sale of flight tickets for Umrah pilgrimages through non-transparent direct appointments, only to the five wholesalers. This is seen as a discriminatory practice against other PPIUs and of course violates the provisions of the business competition law in Article 19 letter d, because it controls the market by practicing discrimination. In addition, the wholesaler mechanism for selling Umrah flight tickets has a negative impact on related parties, namely, consumers, other Umrah travel agents, and agents, as well as PT. Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. itself. Keywords: Wholesaler; Flight ticket; Umrah; Discriminatory Practices; PT. Garuda Indonesia.

Unpacking the Complexity of Gender Integration in the U.S. Military Using Discourse Analysis: The Case of Servicewomen’s Talk Around Having to Prove Themselves

A quasi-idiomatic expression ‘women have to prove themselves’ reflects various performance pressures and heightened visibility of women functioning in gendered professional spaces as advocated by tokenism theory. It is an example of how discriminatory practice – according to which competent and qualified women entering the culturally masculine professions are explicitly and implicitly expected to work harder for any recognition – gets discoursed in language and becomes a “rhetorically powerful form of talk” (Kitzinger 2000: 124). This paper explores the question: what is it that U.S. servicewomen functioning in the culturally hypermasculine space need to do to prove themselves? To this end, qualitative semi-structured interviews with women veterans of the recent Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts are qualitatively scrutinized with the methods of discourse analysis and conversation analysis to 1) identify practices that U.S. servicewomen engage in to symbolically (re-)claim their place and status in the military, i.e., to prove they belong; 2) find out how the talk around proving emerged in the course of the conversation and how it was further interactionally sustained and/or dealt with in talk-in-interaction. The findings of the micro-level analysis – interpreted through the lenses of tokenism and the category of the ‘honorary man’ – reveal women’s complex and nuanced struggle to fit and find acceptance in the military culture of hypermasculinity. They also re-engage with the ideas of tokenism by demonstrating that various acts of proving, reflecting women’s token status, may concurrently and paradoxically be a means to earn honorary man status.

[Un] Silencing the Genuine Voices of Young Emerging Scholars on Challenges Facing Young Academics in South African Universities

There is a clear systemic motive to silence and undermine the genuine voices of young academics in comprehensive South African universities. The foregoing manifests in various ways including gate-keeping publishing techniques. Senior academics do not emphasize the significance of ‘publish or perish’ mantra as needed and on time for young emerging academics. This continued invidious practice is further perpetuated by the circulating scholarly reports and the media-alike which intentionally do not pay too much attention to this ongoing injustice. Where such is reported, it is often not given too much attention, or rather side-lined and even critiqued. This research article seeks to revisit all the various challenges facing young emerging scholars in South African universities. Due to complicated ethical reasons, the author does not dwell much on pin-pointing universities one by one. Also, this is because the problem seems to be a country-wide systemic instigation to undermine the new emerging voices of young emerging scholars who were previously marginalized and kicked out of the apartheid research system. I, therefore, adopt Afrocentricity as a theoretical lens to challenge the perpetuation of this continued intentional and discriminatory practice against publishing whilst young.

Principles of Non-Discrimination against Trading State Party of Powerful Country on the basis of World Trade Organization “Case Study Banning Thai Coconut Products”

The principle of Non-discrimination of the World Trade Organization (WT0) aims to provide fairness to all member countries by means of the Most Favored Nations Treatment and National Treatment under the General Agreement of Trade and Tariffs (GATT). Accordingly, the free trade has been promoted in all regions of the world. However, many WTO members resort to take advantage of general exceptions to the non-discriminatory practice by invoking Article XX of WTO in disguise, thus affecting the free trade principle of WTO.

Amplification of regional discrimination on Chinese news portals: An affective critical discourse analysis

Regional discrimination is a significant social issue that leads to divided societies. In China, people from Henan Province, who are verbally abused by non-Henan users on the Internet, are often victims of regional discrimination. This article presents a case study of Chinese Internet users’ discriminatory practice against Henan people in the commentary sections of two major Chinese news portals – Tencent and NetEase. By advancing an affective critical discourse analysis approach with the assistance of content analysis, I analysed user comments on news reports that covered a news event relating to regional discrimination against Henan people. The analysis showed that Internet users’ discriminatory practice was notably amplified by the locative IP-address function in NetEase’s commentary section. The research findings shed light on the interplay between Internet users’ discursive practice and the technological architecture of interactive digital platforms in the context of regional discrimination.

A Practical Guide for Policy Analysis on Affirmative Action Policy

The Act established, in pursuit of meeting it is proclamation, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. However, most employers did not abide by the act, and continued to discriminate against minorities and women with lower wages or refuse to hire them. If a minority reported the incident, usually there was nothing done to the employer. The United States office the Civil Rights Commission describes affirmative action as covering every degree of single termination of a discriminatory practice, that allows for race, national origin, sex, or disability, laterally with other benchmarks, and that embraced to offer prospects to a class of persons with historically or actually been deprived of those prospects, and to preclude repetition of discrimination in the future.

STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS IN GREEK HIGHER EDUCATION: ICTS AS A VITAL TOOL FOR INCLUSION

<p>The present paper intends to report and analyze ongoing practices and policies with respect to the inclusion of Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and/or disabilities into Higher Education in Greece. To achieve this goal, the researchers systematically searched the current literature sources to find out the extent to and the ways in which European priorities set by article 24 of the Convention on the Rights of Inclusion of Persons with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities, have been advocated by Greek educational policy within the Higher Education context. Actually, the literature review demonstrates the existing law framework of the Greek national and local policy whose purpose is to promote the development and implementation of digitally assisted services which ought to take into consideration the needs of students with learning disabilities and comply with the international strides calling for a broader inclusive education. The results of this review showed that Greek universities have endeavored to respond successfully to the Greek legislation’s mandates and to fully address anti-discriminatory practice. However, more adjustments and decisive progress steps have to be made in relation to the curriculum and to teachers’ professional training to ensure all students’ inclusion.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0606/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The impact of scandal and inquiries on social work and the personal social services

Following a summary of changes in the context of social work education in the last 50 years, the chapter discusses key issues which have shaped educational approaches: the nature of the profession; preparation for one role or for many; student selection and recruitment targets; where decision-making should lie; where responsibility for financing social work education should lie; and the relative importance in social work education of curriculum and programme content, underpinning of professional ethics and a focus on service users, education for anti-discriminatory practice and preparation for practice. Challenges now facing social work education are then discussed. Do higher education institutions and employers agree on what makes a good social worker? Can we and will we learn from evaluation? Are we sufficiently international? Among conclusions drawn are that social work still has a problem with its public image, that insufficient attention has been given to retaining social workers in practice by enabling quality relationship-based work to be practised under good supervision, and that it will be important to maintain programmes of initial education in strong research-based institutions.

A Pluralist Answer to the Question of Inequality

Chapter Five, “A Pluralist Answer to the Question of Inequality,” explains how the three different components of this pluralist theory of wrongful discrimination fit together into a coherent and unified picture. Each of the three wrongs discussed in earlier chapters—unfair subordination, infringements of a right to deliberative freedom, and denials of basic goods—is a way of failing to treat someone as an equal. But each gives us a different way of understanding what it means to fail to treat someone as an equal. In this Chapter, the author also considers the relationship between these three ways of failing to treat someone as an equal. The author also argues that each, on its own, is sufficient to render discrimination wrongful; although most cases of wrongful discrimination will be wrong for more than one reason. Finally, the author presents a number of advantages of this pluralist theory, explaining how it helps us to resolve puzzles about whether discrimination wrongs individuals or groups, and about the kinds of comparative judgments that we need to when assessing whether a particular discriminatory practice wrongs people.
