Industrial relations are a close relationship between workers/laborers and employers based on various special regulations attached to both parties. Industrial relations disputes occur due to differences of opinion between the company and workers/labor regarding the dispute over the rights and obligations of each party. There are several alternative steps in resolving the dispute, through bipartite institutions, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration, in addition to entering the realm of trial. This research raised a case study of industrial relations disputes between PT. Tyfountex Indonesia with workers/laborers who have been terminated, which have found a point of peace to realize justice. The position of the deed of peace agreement agreed upon with the signature of the party concerned is a guarantee of protection and legal certainty to the parties. This research used the juridical-empirical method, with interview techniques as the main data source. In addition, secondary data came from the literature. This study presents information and aims to review the importance of a peace agreement, know the implementation process after the peace agreement agreed by both parties, and find out the various inhibiting factors in settlement of industrial relations disputes experienced by PT. Tyfountex Indonesia and its workers.
