Legal Protection for Lecturers in Running Their Professions as Educators in Higher Education

Instructors as experts are learning specialists who are liable for completing the undertaking of overseeing collaborations with understudies, individual understudies, and understudies with other learning assets. In completing their obligations, teachers should comprehend understudies, plan and carry out the educational experience, survey learning results, and direct direction and preparing. Instructor status is set to equal or equivalent status by the employment agreement concluded by both parties. Legal protection given to lecturers can be seen in 2 (two) ways, namely: First, Preventive through an agreement made before the lecturer works at the university; and Second, Repressive through the Industrial Relations Court (PHI). Meanwhile, for lecturers to have an equal position sociologically, it is by forming a labor union. Where trade unions/workers have many benefits and objectives, even the existence of the trade unions/workers is protected by laws and regulations, preventing workers/employees from forming a trade/labor union is an employment crime.
