No formal restrictions. |
| Qualitative Info |
There are no restrictions in place. However, some of the sectors in which migrants are employed in large numbers are not unionised. For instance, domestic work which concentrates the largest number of migrants is not unionised. Also in other sectors, there are reports of employers trying to discourage or victimise migrant workers who try to join a union. Generally speaking, it is the EU workers who mostly benefit from trade union membership, as they are not in the same vulnerable position regarding deportation as third country nationals. |
