PROCESS OF SOCIAL EXCLUSION OF PRECARIAT WORKERS IN THE CITY OF MAKASSAR: A CASE STUDY OF OUTSOURCING AND CONTRACT WORKERS IN PARANGLOE AND KIMA WAREHOUSE AREA
This study aims to analyze the processes and impacts of social exclusion that arise among precariat workers in Makassar City. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach and used a case study research type with locations in the Parangloe and KIMA Warehousing Areas. The method of determining informants was carried out by purposive sampling, the informants in this study totaled 7 people from various backgrounds. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observation, and the collection of documents that were considered important. The results of the study show that social exclusion in the context of agency and contract workers is closely related to the vulnerability they feel. The process of social exclusion arises due to work flexibility policies that have an impact on several things. First, a surplus of labor makes workers more concerned with job security because if they don't, they will be easily replaced with reserve labor. Second, workers experience exclusion through the transition of working status which is very easy to occur, precariat workers are made to have no bargaining position and conditions of urgency. Third, in outsourcing and contracting schemes, the position of trade unions is increasingly reduced as an organization that accommodates workers' interests. Workers are preoccupied with working hours and a heavy workload that makes it impossible for them to form unions. Labor unions are also considered as "firefighters" which are only needed when problems occur with workers such as sudden termination of employment, inappropriate wages, or unpaid severance pay.
