This research was conducted to determine industrial relations between the government, companies, and employees in determining the provincial minimum wage in East Java. This study uses a qualitative method. Data collection was carried out by interviews with the determination of three sources. Every aspect of industrial relations is used to see the role of each government agency, company, and employee. The validity of the findings is tested using source triangulation, and then every aspect of industrial relations that occurs is described. The study results show that the industrial relations between the three parties were quite good. The government views the phenomenon of labor demonstrations as caused by several things, one of which is related to establishing the provincial minimum wage. Workers hold demonstrations every Labor Day and when setting wages. The government acts as a mediator between employers and workers during a demonstration. Then, the company experienced problems related to wages caused by several factors. Taxes in operational costs, shipping costs, and incidentals are one of the reasons. In addition, companies must also provide health insurance for workers in the social security program in accordance with government regulations. The labor association feels that the aspirations have not been realized, especially on the issue of wages. Therefore, workers hope for a proper discussion forum, and the aspirations conveyed can be realized, not just accommodated.

The industrial relations between the government, employers, and laborers are considered relatively good.The government views labor demonstrations as stemming from issues related to the determination of the provincial minimum wage, acting as a mediator during these events.Companies face wage-related challenges due to factors like taxes and mandatory health insurance, while labor associations express dissatisfaction with unfulfilled aspirations, particularly concerning wages and seek a more effective forum for discussion.

Further research should investigate the specific impact of informal sector employment on minimum wage compliance and the effectiveness of current enforcement mechanisms. Additionally, a comparative study examining minimum wage policies and industrial relations in different Indonesian provinces could reveal best practices and areas for improvement. Finally, exploring the role of technology and digital platforms in facilitating dialogue and negotiation between labor unions, employers, and the government could lead to more transparent and efficient wage-setting processes. These studies should consider the perspectives of all stakeholders, including small and medium-sized enterprises, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in establishing fair and sustainable wage policies in East Java and beyond. The research should also delve into the long-term effects of minimum wage adjustments on employment levels and economic growth, providing evidence-based insights for policymakers. This will require a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews and case studies to capture the nuances of the Indonesian labor market.
