本文回顾了Penninx和Roosblad（欧洲的工会、移民和移民，1960-1993）所使用的比较方法。纽约：Berghahn Books）研究七个西欧国家工会对移民工人的态度和行动。它重新评估了这种方法，并询问它是否仍然有效，因为今天的经济，社会和政治环境似乎与20到50年前有着根本的不同。重新评估了原始概念和解释框架的每一个要素，并权衡了其是否适合进行更新的比较研究。重新评估结合了移民研究的见解和劳资关系领域的调查结果。后者强调工会内部的变数，解释工会的态度和行动，而前者强调工会作为社会和政治行为者在捍卫移徙者权利方面的作用。
This paper revisits the comparative approach used by Penninx and Roosblad (Trade Unions, Immigration and Immigrants in Europe, 1960-1993. New York: Berghahn Books) to study trade unions’ attitudes and actions in relation to immigrant workers in seven Western European countries. It reassesses that approach and asks whether it remains valid, as economic, social, and political circumstances nowadays seem fundamentally different from those two to five decades ago. Each element of the original conceptual and explanatory frame is reassessed and its suitability weighed for an updated comparative study. The reassessment combines insights from migration studies with findings from the field of industrial relations. The latter highlight internal union variables in explaining trade unions’ attitudes and actions, while the former underline trade unions’ role as social and political actors in defending migrant rights.
