Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has entered Indonesia and has changed the way of life since March 2020. WHO and the Government of Indonesia have issued several policies related to limiting social activities in the community in an effort to suppress the spread of COVID-19. However, this policy impacts decreasing mobility and purchasing power in the community, thus making economic conditions unstable. The industrial sector is one of the areas affected by the decline in people's purchasing power, the Government issued a policy related to workers' rights to provide guarantees to workers for their welfare during the Covid-19 pandemic. This journal is prepared using the juridical-normative method. This journal will provide information regarding any policies issued by the Government related to labor rights, one of which is the Circular Letter (CL) of the Minister of Manpower Number. M/3/HK.04/III/2020. Then afterward, policies regarding labor rights are measured using Social Welfare indicators, namely (1) physiological needs, (2) safety and security, (3) respected individual activities, (4) property linkages, and (5) competence and self-esteem to determine whether the policy has sided with the workers.
