Abstract

In the long history of the Indonesian nation, labors have fought important wars in the nation's journey. This can be seen from their role in helping various nation-building processes. This article aims to reveal the existence of labors in the socio-political situation and their involvement in Indonesia's first election in 1955. This article was written using a historical method which consists of several stages, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography. In this article it can be concluded that there are political and economic relations between trade unions and various political elements, especially political parties. The relationship between the two has different interests where labor unions have an economic interest in getting decent wages, health insurance and opposing arbitrary actions by employers. Meanwhile, political parties make themselves a forum for channeling the aspirations of labor union votes and use them as a voting base
