TINJAUAN YURIDIS TENTANG PENYELESAIAN PERSELISIHAN ANTARA PEKERJA DAN PERUSAHAAN (HUBUNGAN INDUSTRIAL) DALAM PERKARA NOMOR 722 K/PDT.SUS/2011

Hubungan antara pekerja dan pengusaha yang secara tertulis dituangkan dalamperjanjian kerja tidak selamanya berjalan mulus. Ada kalanya salah satu atau keduabelah pihak melalaikan kewajibannya dan atau tidak memenuhi haknya. Dengan tidakdipenuhinya hak atau kewajiban tersebut, dapat menimbulkan perselisihan hubunganindustrial antara pekerja dengan pengusaha, seperti yang terjadi dalam perkaraNomor : 722K/Pdt.Sus/2011, perselisihan bermula ketika Sayed Fakhry yang bertindak sebagai Penggugat dimutasi oleh PT. Conocophillips Indonesia Inc. Ltd yang bertindak sebagai Tergugat pada badan hukum yang berbeda yaitu ke PT. ConocoPhillips Ramba Ltd yang mana mutasi pada badan hukum yang berbeda adalah tidak sah dan melanggar ketentuan yang diatur dalam PKB Bab XIV ayat (1), serta UU Ketenagakerjaan No 13 Tahun 2013 dan UU Perseroan Terbatas No. 40 Tahun 2007. Hal ini kemudian menjadi lebih kompleks lagi ketika Hakim Judex Facti memutuskan bahwa Penggugat dinyatakan telah mengundurkan diri dari PT.ConocoPhillips Ramba Ltd, yang mana Penggugat tidak pernah membuat perjanjian kerja dengan PT. ConocoPhillips Ramba Ltd sebelumnya. Berdasarkan hal itu maka penulis tertarik melakukan penelitian dengan rumusan masalah yaitu: 1).Apa penyebab permohonan kasasi di tolak oleh Mahkamah Agung? 2). Apaakibat hukum yang timbul dari putusan No. 722 K/Pdt. Sus/2011 tersebut? Jenis penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian hukum normatif. Sifat penelitian adalah penelitian deskriptif. Metode pengumpulan data yang dipergunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi dokumen dan bahan pustaka. Adapun sumber data yang dipergunakan adalah data sekunder yang dapat dibedakan menjadi, bahan hukum primer, bahan hukum sekunder, bahan hukum tersier. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa1) penyebab dari permohonan kasasipemohon kasasi di tolak yaitu Mahkamah Agung memutuskan permohonan kasasi pemohon kasasi di tolak karena permohonan kasasi pemohon kasasi itu tidak sah dari tahap pengadilan hubungan industrial yaitu perkaranya dinyatakan telah ne bis in idem. Dan bahwa keberatan pemohon kasasi tidak memenuhi ketentuan pasal 30 Undang-undang No. 14 Tahun 1985 sebagaimana yang telah di ubah dan di tambah dengan Undang-undang No. 5 Tahun 2004 dan perubahan ke dua dengan Undang-undang No. 3 Tahun 2009, sehingga sehingga permohonan kasasi di pemohon kasasi di tolak. 2) Adapun akibat hukum bagi Penggugdi /Pemohon Kasasi adalah dinyatakan telah mengundurkan diri, yang artinya bahwa putusnya hubungan kerja Penggugat/Pemohon Kasasi. Akibat hukum bagi Termohon Kasasi adalah membayarkan uang pisah kepada Penggugat/Pemohon Kasasi

Identity-agency and life-course agency of English teachers in Tegal City, Banyumasan area, Indonesia : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand

Figure 3.1 was removed for copyright reasons.This study explores the identity formation of English teachers in Tegal City, Banyumasan area in Central Java, Indonesia. It draws on the frameworks of identity-agency and life-course agency within three different contexts: Ladang High School teachers, Ladang Private Tuition Centre teachers, and Ladang University pre-service teachers. It seeks to answer two research questions: 1) How does identity-agency support pre-service teachers in Tegal City to develop their professional identity? 2) What experiences contribute to the identity formation of English teachers in Tegal City within their life-course agency? A dialogical approach is used to analyse data to develop insights into how each of the nine participants exercises his/her agency in the complexity of their relationship with their social environments and values, significant others, and how they forge and navigate different pathways in making their professional identity. This study employs a qualitative approach and uses case study methods. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews, classroom observation, narrative accounts, photographs, documents, and online contact. The first data collection stage was conducted from December 2015 to February 2016 and included site visits, observations, interviews, narrative accounts, and document collection. A researcher’s journal and field notes were used as supportive data. The second stage was conducted from August to September 2016. It was conducted through follow-up interviews and revisiting each research site to collect photographs and additional documents. The findings indicate that diverse elements contribute to the shaping of identity through life-course agency and identity-agency: religion, learning experiences, family members, regulations, and social contexts where these participants chose a particular action, changed or dropped a decision, and in so doing, they exercised their agency. Initial contact with English was generated from family members, media idols, or objects such as brochures and leaflets written in English. The teacher participants’ narratives indicated that they did not plan to be English teachers, but their journey and complex trajectories had led them to the profession. By way of contrast, the pre-service teachers’ narratives indicated that they majored in English education to be English teachers, but they ended up using English differently to shape their identity. The study concludes with implications for theory and practice arguing that the frameworks of identity-agency and life-course agency can be useful development tools for understanding both teachers’ professional lives and their trajectories in Indonesia
