Abstract: The implementation of the rulings on worker layoffs at the labour court known as industrial relationships court at district courts is crucial as it deals with the protection of workers' rights in a layoff dispute settlement. This paper discusses the execution of the verdicts of layoff dispute cases at three district courts, namely Padang, Pekanbaru, and Central Jakarta district courts. In doing so, the paper seeks to address the question as to whether or not the industrial relationship court does justice to workers in Indonesia. The purpose of the study is to shed light on the legal and emotional battles industrial workers must fight for justice. Using a normative approach, this study reveals that many of the verdicts reached in layoff dispute cases remain unexecuted because the procedural law that applies in resolving these disputes lacks legal force.
