Employers-workers
\nrelationship<\/p>\n
People who lived during the Dutch colonial times used to refer
\nto unskilled laborers as contractual kuli. The relationship
\nbetween employers and laborers, however, was not set out in a
\ncontract. It was a relationship that was peculiar to the
\ncolonizers and the colonized people, who were subjected to the
\nregulations made by the colonial rulers.<\/p>\n
Generally, the colonial rulers imposed regulations on the
\ncolonized people, for example plantation laborers, in favor of
\nthe colonizers so that they could get the most out of the
\ncolonized people. The colonial rulers didn't care a jot about the
\nwelfare of the colonized people.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, this relationship can still be found today,
\nbetween employers and workers, or between state\/government
\ninstitutions and semi-permanent government employees, like
\nsubstitute teachers, seasonal clerks etc.<\/p>\n
In the private sector, for example in the textile industry, an
\nemployee can loose their job because their contract has finished.
\nOr, this can happen because the company gets few orders or goes
\nbankrupt.<\/p>\n
The situation is different, however, in the case of civil
\nservants, such as members of the Indonesian Military and members
\nof the National Police, with reference to Law No. 43\/1999 on
\ncivil servants.<\/p>\n
It has long been observed that dedication and services
\nrendered in accordance to a working contract in the area of state
\napparatuses tend to mean very little, partly due to the weak
\nbuilt-in control in state agencies.<\/p>\n
