The rapid evolution of the labor market, accelerated by the ASEAN Economic Community and an influx of job seekers, intensifies competition not only for employment but also for career stability within companies. At the same time, businesses face mounting pressure to stay competitive, often turning to mergers and acquisitions as a strategy for growth and survival. Yet, while these corporate moves may strengthen business prospects, they often leave workers in a precarious position, facing potential job loss or uncertain changes to their employment status. This research explores the legal protection of workers post-acquisition, focusing on Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and analyzing relevant court decisions. The findings reveal that although acquisitions do not automatically terminate employment contracts, they frequently disrupt workers’ rights, exposing them to unexpected vulnerabilities. This study underscores the urgent need for stronger legal safeguards to protect workers from the fallout of corporate restructuring. By highlighting gaps in current labor protections, this research contributes to ongoing discussions on labor law reform, offering insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and business leaders striving to balance corporate interests with workers’ rights in an increasingly volatile economic landscape. Ultimately, it raises a critical question: in the wake of corporate acquisitions, who truly stands up for the workers?

This study examines the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency in society with a focus on the influence of parenting patterns in the Generation Z (Gen Z) era. Juvenile delinquency, which includes deviant behavior and criminal acts, is increasingly complex along with technological developments and social change. Parenting patterns applied by parents, whether autocratic, permissive, responsive, or neglectful, contribute significantly to adolescent behavior. This research method involves literature analysis and surveys of adolescents and parents to understand the relationship between parenting patterns and delinquent behavior. The results show that responsive parenting patterns and parental involvement in children’s lives are positively related to good social behavior, while permissive or neglectful parenting patterns have the potential to increase the risk of delinquency. This study suggests the need for parent education programs and community involvement to create an environment that supports positive development for adolescents in the Gen Z era. By understanding the interaction between parenting patterns and adolescent behavior, it is hoped that effective prevention strategies can be produced to overcome juvenile delinquency in society.
