European trade unions are among the most influential and powerful
institutions within Western economies, in many cases cooperating
with the government and employers' associations in socio-economic
decision-making processes. Consequently they also play an important
role in the formulation of policies relating to immigration and the
migrant workers, who are arriving and becoming part of the
workforce the unions are representing and protecting against
employers and other authorities. However, trade unions have not
always fulfilled their role as the most obvious organization to
defend the interests of foreign workers to the extent they could be
expected. The reasons for this are complex and due to conflicts of
interests that arise from their intermediary position between
employers, government authorities, and indigenous workers. This
volume offers a rich analysis of the situation in seven major
European countries but also a comparison of the data found and an
attempt to account for the differences established. It ends with
some conclusions on the prospects of trade unions within the
European Union, and on the lessons to be learned from the present
analysis.
