REMUNERATION AND RESISTANCE FOR BAJO FISHERMEN IN ARU ISLANDS DISTRICT
In fishing communities, three social classes live side by side and fight for their own class but differ in diametrically different interests, namely local capital owners (ship owners), ship owners and ship crews. These differences have an impact on the distribution of wages that are not fair to the crew of the boat. This reality creates resistance between classes that is very difficult to break. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. This research was conducted in Dobo City, Aru Islands Regency, Maluku Province. The type of data consists of primary data and secondary data. Primary data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews and collective interviews Focus Group Discussion (FGD). While secondary data is obtained by searching literature sourced from printed books, ebooks, online and printed journals. Management and presentation of data is carried out by means of data reduction, data analysis, holistic-integrative presentation of data and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the crew of the boat on the Bajo fishermen cooperated so that hidden resistance occurred because of the unfair distribution of wages by the ship owner by moving to another boat, selling the catch in secret and credit to the bank to build a boat. The resistance that occurs is largely determined by the knowledge, feelings and suffering of labor fishermen as a substantial factor to respond to and evaluate the reality of the division of wages because they have suffered too long or live in the frame of dehumanization.
