The current economic crisis, the consequent rise of unemployment and the limitation of welfare resources in many Western European countries is resulting in the worsening of working and living conditions of a significant part of the EU citizenship. The raise of low-skilled immigration towards such countries is increasingly perceived as a 'threat' for the host societies. Conflicts and differences between national and migrant workers are becoming increasingly manifest, not only in the labour arena but also in the wider society. Discriminatory sentiments and episodes of violence concerning ethnic minorities are spreading. In the applicant's view, the responses of the social actors to the interplay between migration and employment in the host countries will be important in shaping the future of Europe's social fabric. Among such actors, trade unions play an important role not only because immigration is primarily linked to labour but also because many conflicts occur in the labour arena both at the individual and collective level. This project aims at analysing trade union responses to immigration, immigration policies and a broad range of migrant workers, and at understanding the trade unions' (actual and potential) role in the economic and social integration of immigrants. Furthermore, it focuses on the trade union's role in mediating conflicting interests between national and migrant workers. The research develops a comparative international perspective by looking at a national context particularly affected by recent immigration (UK) and expanding on a previous comparative study on Italy and the Netherlands carried out by the applicant in her doctoral research. The aim of the comparison is a) to highlight differences in trade unions' formal debates, actions and outcomes related to the inclusion of migrant workers across the three countries and b) to point out explanatory variables and mechanisms for observed differences. The analysis addresses three main aspects: 1) factors that influence union stances towards labour immigration, immigration policies and migrant workers themselves - particular attention will be devoted to analyse the influence of the European policies related to immigration and free movement of labour on national trade unions responses; 2) the effects of union attitudes on immigration policies and migrant workers; and 3) the dynamics and methods of trade union interaction with migrant workers. Being situated at the intersection between migration studies and employment relations, this research will contribute to the scholarly debate in these fields: a) migration studies (the integration of migrants in host European countries in the context of the current economic decline and increase of social hostility); b) comparative employment relations (revitalization studies and varieties of capitalism approaches); c) the sociology of labour and labour market studies (analysis of labour market dynamics in terms of increasing flexibilization and migration); d) the Europeanization of migration policies debate. Furthermore, by focusing on social cohesion, the inclusion of migrants in the labour market and host societies, this research has the potential to address sensitive social issues and to highlight best practices and responses. Through the dissemination of research findings - inside and beyond the academic sphere - and the promotion of dialogue with potential beneficiaries and users, this research aims at resulting in concrete proposals for action.

目前的经济危机、随之而来的失业率上升以及许多西欧国家福利资源的有限，导致相当一部分欧盟公民的工作和生活条件恶化。这些国家的低技能移民越来越被视为对东道国社会的“威胁”。本国工人和移徙工人之间的冲突和分歧不仅在劳工竞技场而且在更广泛的社会中日益明显。针对少数民族的歧视情绪和暴力事件正在蔓延。申请人认为，社会行为者对移民与东道国就业之间相互作用的反应，对于塑造欧洲社会结构的未来十分重要。在这些行为者中，工会发挥着重要作用，这不仅是因为移民主要与劳工有关，而且还因为许多冲突发生在劳工竞技场的个人和集体层面。该项目旨在分析工会对移民、移民政策和广泛的移徙工人的反应，并了解工会在移民的经济和社会融合方面的（实际和潜在）作用。此外，报告还着重阐述了工会在调解本国工人和移徙工人之间利益冲突方面的作用。该研究开发了一个比较国际的角度来看，特别是在最近的移民（英国）的影响，并扩大了以前的比较研究意大利和荷兰进行的申请人在她的博士研究。比较的目的是：（a）突出这三个国家的工会在与移徙工人融入社会有关的正式辩论、行动和结果方面的差异;（B）指出所观察到的差异的解释变量和机制。分析涉及三个主要方面：（1）影响工会对劳工移民、移民政策和移民工人本身的立场的因素-将特别注意分析欧洲有关移民和劳工自由流动的政策对各国工会反应的影响;（2）工会对移民政策和移民工人的态度的影响;三是工会与农民工互动的动力和方式。本研究处于移民研究和雇佣关系的交叉点，将有助于以下领域的学术辩论：a）移民研究（在目前经济衰退和社会敌对情绪增加的情况下移民融入欧洲东道国）; B）比较就业关系（复兴研究和各种资本主义方法）; c）劳动力社会学和劳动力市场研究（从增加灵活性和移徙的角度分析劳动力市场动态）; d）移徙政策欧洲化辩论。此外，通过侧重于社会凝聚力、移徙者融入劳动力市场和东道国社会，这项研究有可能解决敏感的社会问题，并突出最佳做法和应对措施。通过在学术界内外传播研究成果，并促进与潜在受益者和用户的对话，这项研究旨在提出具体的行动建议。
