In order to anticipate the competition in the globalisation era, company must optimize its

productivity and avoid high cost economy. One of the solutions is with labor market flexibility,

which is applied by relaxing regulations in labor market. Outsourcing is one form of the labor

market flexibility practice. Since the reformation of Manpower act, there has been an industrial

relation model shift from corporatist model ke contractualist model, in which the government

intervention to the manpower regulation tends to decrease.The implementation of Labor Market

Flexibility should be balanced by the effective roles from the government to perform the

monitoring and law development and to organize the socially and economically secured system for

the labor force.
