Abstract: The role of the government in the settlement of industrial relations disputes regulated in Law Number 22 Year 1957 is still strong with the formation of Dispute Resolution Committees both at the central and regional levels where the membership consists of representatives from the government, employers and workers. However, in Law Number 2 of 2004 concerning the Settlement of Industrial Relations Disputes, the government fully leaves the settlement of industrial relations disputes to the disputing parties, namely workers and employers. The government only acts as a mediator by acting as a mediator if the dispute is resolved through mediation. His authority is limited to issuing recommendations that do not bind the disputing parties. This actually contradicts the purpose of labor law which should provide more protection for socially and economically weak parties, namely workers. For this reason, the role of the government needs to be strengthened so that the weak can be protected.
