Abstrak

This study aims to analyze the practice of employment termination through digital media in the case of PT Star Comgistic Indonesia from the perspectives of Pancasila Industrial Relations and workers' welfare, as well as to assess the conformity of the dispute settlement mechanism with Law Number 2 of 2004 concerning Industrial Relations Dispute Settlement. This study employs a normative juridical approach using a statute approach. The data sources consist of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and factual information obtained from online media reports regarding the case under study. The analysis is conducted qualitatively through systematic interpretation of the applicable legal norms. The findings indicate that the practice of employment termination through digital media in the case of PT Star Comgistic Indonesia suggests potential inconsistencies with the principles of deliberation, respect for workers' dignity, and togetherness, which constitute the foundation of Pancasila Industrial Relations. Furthermore, the absence of information regarding the implementation of bipartite negotiations prior to the termination suggests potential non-conformity with the dispute settlement mechanism stipulated in Law Number 2 of 2004. The practice also has the potential to generate implications for workers' welfare, both in material and non-material aspects. Therefore, employment termination through digital media should be understood not only from the perspective of formal legality but also from the perspective of industrial relations values and the protection of workers' welfare.
