The purpose of this study is to describe the industrial work in construction service industry in Gorontalo City and to identify the workers’ rights protection aspects. This study is the result of a research conducted through an empirical normative approach. The secondary data were collected using primary, secondary, and tertiary data. The primary data were gathered from field research. Data collection method was conducted through secondary data, including laws and related regulations. Focus Grup Discussion (FGD) method was used to gain in-depth information from some sources such as Construction Industry Company, Individual Service Provider, Construction Workers, Local Government included Public Works Office (Dinas Pekerjaan Umum), Construction Services Development Agencies (LPJK), Social Security Agency (Badan Penyelenggaraan Jaminan Sosial) Construction Workers Association. This was then continued with an in-depth interview and questionnaire. These data were analyzed using the qualitative method. The result and discussion show that there are 5.769 workers in Gorontalo city that are spread in 1.404 Construction Service Industries. The existence of the industries can absorb 1.770 workers. However, the data of BPJS shows that only 207 companies have registered for the labor insurance, even though one of the protections required for the workers is equality guarantee between service users and service providers in implementing their rights and responsibilities in the employment relationship. Another issue is the regulation related to the minimum wages and security, safety, and health insurance in the workplace for construction workers. The workers should get adequate protection considering that the development of the construction industry continues to increase with the level of complexity and high employment absorption. © 2021 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
