This phenomenon is examined by the author with the main issue of What are the Weaknesses of the Legal Protection of Domestic Workers in Indonesia Today and How is the Reconstruction of Legal Protection of Domestic Workers in Indonesia Based on Justice Values. The research method uses the normative juridical approach, where the research data is used is from literature review stems from the existing regulation, credible news and data obtained from interested parties, supported with interviews and observation as secondary data. The results shows that the weakness of legal protection for domestic workers is the absence of legal certainty through legislation, so that it has implications for the realization of substantive justice for the existence of domestic workers. This is also caused by the views on the profession of domestic workers who are positioned as informal workers so that it has implications for the protection of basic rights, natural rights and social security of domestic workers. Therefore, it is necessary to Reconstruct Legal Protection Regulations between Domestic Workers and Equitable Employers in Law No. 13 of 2003 so that there is clarity in legal protection for Domestic Workers.
