Migration and Industrial Relations in Europe

Migration, both within the European Union and from other countries, has been at historically high levels in recent years. In this comparative study, we examine the issue from the perspective of industrial relations. The study provides information on levels of migration and the numbers of migrant workers, before examining their labour market and employment situation and outlining the key elements of government policy and legislation in this area. Finally, we look at the views and activities of the social partners and the extent to which issues relevant to migration are dealt with in collective bargaining.
