ANALYZING THE MAXIMUM TIME LIMIT ON A SPECIFIC TIME WORK AGREEMENT AND ITS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.

Environmental degradation adversely overshadows the field of work considering the strong links it holds with the natural environment, particularly by the ecosystem services loss, the natural disasters' occurrence and the inequalities associated with the exposure to environmental degradation and its related risk. Labour as a party with a relatively weak bargaining position must receive legal protection from the state. Justice for workers is a condition that ensures the continuity of their employment relationship status and justice for the welfare of workers. This study aims to provide an overview of the environmental changes regarding the maximum time limit of a certain work agreement in Indonesia. This study uses the descriptive qualitative method. Descriptive research is defined as analyzing documents by participating in arguments based on the point of view of events. This research is formative research on environmental and labour law in Indonesia. This study uses three approaches, namely a legislative approach, a conceptual approach and a comparative approach. The data were obtained using documentation and literature studies on the problems that occur with changes in employment status and environmental conditions in Indonesia. The results demonstrate that a relevant curtailment of pollution stems from productivity-led working time reduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
