Previously, in the petition, the Petitioners highlighted Articles 64, 65, and 66 of the Manpower Law on outsourcing system. They believed the provisions were in violation of Article 27 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, which guarantees the citizens’ right to occupation and decent livelihood.

The Petitioners argued that the current outsourcing system has created work uncertainty, given the short duration of work agreements. This means that employees cannot obtain certainty over decent, stable livelihood. In addition, outsourced employees are often cheated out of their rights, such us the right to health benefits, leave of absence, severance pay, and pension benefits. They also often receive lower pay than employees with permanent work agreements, despite both doing the same work.
