Politics of Equality at Work

European Federation of Food, Agriculture, and Tourism Trade Unions (EFFAT) workshop, Madrid, 26 April 2023

Workshop title: Migration, trade unions, and the re-making of social inclusion– setting the scene


We were invited to present for a workshop organised by the European Federation of Food, Agriculture, and Tourism Trade Unions (EFFAT) to help set the scene on how trade unions integrate and organise migrant workers. The workshop was attended by EFFAT affiliates in a number of European countries (including the UK). At the meeting they discussed the challenges that migrant workers face, as well as thinking through how unions respond to migrant workforces and what concrete measures they have put in place (use of languages, apps, organising strategies, training, etc.).
