INDONESIAN BUSINESS REGULATIONS SAFEGUARD AND UPHOLD THE FREEDOMS OF GO-JEK EMPLOYEES
Abstract
Go-Jek is the biggest and most successful company in Indonesia that uses a mobile phone app to provide online transportation for people by posing as a link between drivers and passengers. Go-Jek drivers are alluded to as "accomplices" who can decide how much their pay and their own functioning hours. However, the partnership that connects drivers and transportation providers actually has relationships that are exploitative. Drivers are treated like informal workers without protection from unemployment. With the help of technology, the Go-Jek company was able to assign drivers to jobs that gave the impression of equality and freedom of employment—as if drivers were not being exploited. This rhetoric is based on the conventional idea that the employer has the means to produce and pays an hourly wage in working relationships. To give the impression that the driver is not employed, the company always emphasizes that it only provides the application. As a result, the system creates an imbalance in access and power that enables the company to keep drivers employed while simultaneously stripping them of their rights to work as employees, charging and risking them.
