This research aims to analyze the influence of labor union,compensation,worker solidarity and social support, on the welfare of women workers. This is an explanatory research. Samples were using 186 women workers who participated in the International Labor Day in 2015 in Semarang, Indonesia. Samples were taken by an convenience sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires. The research used likert scale as measurement scale, and data were then analyzed using the average score, simple linear regression, and linear regression. The result of this research shows that labor union,compensation,worker solidarity and social support have significant influence on the welfare of women workers. However,the variables of compensation and social support were more dominant in influencing the welfare of women workers, compared to other variables. The higher the compensation and the stronger the social support given to women workers, the higher the welfare of women workers. Meanwgile, the role of labor union who were expected to enhance the welfare of women, showed less robust. Morever, the result of this research also shows that worker solidarity for women workers is weak, while labor solidarity among women workers is indispensable when they are facing problems in their work.
