"Pola hubungan kerja juragan-buruh perempuan pembatik yang memperlihatkan posisi berlawanan menjadi fokus penelitian ini. Selain itu, juga dikaji hubungan juragan buruh dalam keterlibatannya di Kelompok Swadaya Masyarakat (KSM). Alasan yang mendasari penelitian ini adalah pertama, batik tulis merupakan industri kerajinan yang turun temurun dan umumnya banyak menggunakan tenaga kerja perempuan. Kedua, juragan dan buruh membentuk hubungan yang berbeda kepentingan, namun dapat bersatu dalam kelompok. Ketiga, hubungan tersebut menunjukkan kepedulian di antara sesama perempuan untuk meningkatkan kehidupan sosial ekonomis mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif berperspektif perempuan, melibatkan 26 subjek penelitian yang terdiri atas 12 buruh perempuan, 13 juragan perempuan dan 3 pemilik usaha pada 5 KSM dampingan LSM Bina Swadaya. Lokasi penelitian di Kecamatan Bayat, Klaten.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perempuan di Bayat tetap menekuni usaha batik tulis karena membatik dilakukan secara turun temurun dan dapat dikerjakan sewaktu-waktu. Sementara itu, pola hubungan kerja pemilik usahajuragan memperlihatkan dominasi oleh pemilik usaha, sedangkan pola hubungan juragan-buruh memperlihatkan juragan lebih banyak mengalah karena takut kehilangan buruhnya. Meskipun demikian, konflik yang muncul di antara mereka tidak menimbulkan perlawanan yang keras dari buruh karena terciptanya hubungan patron-klien antara pemilik usaha kepada juragan dan juragan kepada buruh. Jaminan sosial yang diberikan patron kepada klien merupakan strategi yang dilakukan oleh patron agar klien bergantung padanya.Sementara itu, keterlibatan juragan dan buruh dalam KSM tidak menunjukkan hasil yang signifikan. Lebih dari lima tahun mereka bergabung dalam KSM, namun tidak satu pun anggota yang menjadi pemilik usaha. Menjadi pemilik usaha membutuhkan modal yang sangat besar, padahal kelompok belum mampu memberikan pinjaman dalam jumlah besar. Dengan demikian, pendampingan LSM tidak cukup melalui mekanisme simpan pinjam, tetapi juga perhatian pada aspek tenaga kerja, upah, dan keterkaitan usaha kelompok dampingan.

The relationship pattern of Juragan--"Batik" Female Laborer, which illustrate an opposed position, becomes a research focus. Besides, it is also assessed Juragan - Laborer relationship in their involvement in Self-Help Group (KSM). The essential reasons to conduct this research is (1) handmade batik is such a hereditary home industry and this home industry mostly employ female laborers; (2) juragan and laborer relationship is such a relationship with a variety of interest but it can be joined in group; (3) this relationship indicate concern among women to increase their social economy life. This research applies women perspective qualitative method, and involves 26 research subjects consist of 12 laborers, 13 juragan and 3 business owners in 5 target groups of Bina Swadaya. The research location was conducted in sub district of Bayat, Klaten.

Research result indicated that women in Bayat remain to work handmade batik business since working batik is such a hereditary activities, and this could be worked any time they want. The relationship pattern of batik business owner - juragan show such relationship that is dominated by the business owner. Meantime, the relationship pattern of juragan-laborer shows that Juragan is more receptive and responsive to fulfill laborer request since juragan is worried to loose their laborer. However, conflict among them not emerge a rigorous opposition from laborer because there is established a patron-client relationship between business owner with juragan, and between juragan with laborer. Social safety from patron to the Client is a strategy, which is conducted by patron in order to make the Client is depended on it.

Meanwhile, the involvement of juragan and laborer in KSM not indicate a significant result. They have been joining more than 5 years in KSM; however, not any of members could be a business owner. This would need such amount of capital to be a business owner. Groups are unable to meet such requirement in order to give loan in a big sum. Thus, NGO assistance is not enough through mechanism of saving-loan but it also require attention on aspect of worker, wages and relevant business of target group."
