Dilemmas of representation and solidarity: Trade unions and extreme right-wing parties

Principal investigator Anders Neergaard (REMESO Project Leader)
Description
Research on trade unions has identified the crises and challenges trade unions face, not only in relation to employers and the state, but also regarding how to keep the trade union and workers together. One particular challenge is how to build solidarity in a context in which the number of migrant workers is increasing and working class support for anti-immigrant extreme right parties is growing. The research question framing this proposal is how an important organisation for Swedish industrial relations negotiate what seems to be a fundamental contradiction among its members. The aim is to analyse the strategies and actions taken by trade unions in relation to migrant workers, ethnic diversity and members and activists displaying support for extreme right parties. The theoretical framework is drawn from labour studies and industrial relations research along with migration and ethnic studies, supplemented with gender studies.. Methodologically, the project is an ethnographic study of five blue collar trade unions and Landsorganisationen, employing semi-structured interviews and participant observation, complemented with document analysis.

Migrant precariat and the frames of solidarity - possibilities and constraints for transversal collective action

Principal investigator Nedzad Mesic (REMESO Project Leader), Magnus Dahlstedt (Scientifically Responsible), Aleksandra Ålund (Participants from REMESO), Charles Woolfson (Participants from REMESO), Zoran Slavnic (Participants from REMESO)
Description
The project deals with the relations between social movements, trade unions and disadvantaged groups of migrant workers on the labour market. These groups could also be denominated as the precariat. More specifically the focus is set on irregular immigrants, discriminated workers and seasonal guest workers. The primary target for the project is to explore the ways actors in the civil society manage to build supportive relations to these groups of workers and other organisations in the field. The project is guided by the overarching research question: What are the possibilities and constraints for civil society organisations to establish and maintain transversal relations with disadvantaged groups of migrant workers and their organisations? The task is thus, on the one hand, to investigate how trade unions take on these new challenges within their field and to explore: the new strategies developed by the trade unions; and their collaborations with new social movements organisations. On the other hand, the project centres on new social movements' collaborations with neighbouring actors, their articulations of the problems; and their strategies to provide solutions to the problems.

Dynamische Effekte von Immigration auf Löhne, Beschäftigung, Technologie und Innovation

Principal investigator Christian Dustmann (Principal Investigator), Tommaso Frattini (Cooperation Partner), Ian P. Preston (Cooperation Partner), Albrecht Glitz (Cooperation Partner)
Description
Durch Immigration induzierte Arbeitsangebotsschocks betreffen alle Akteure einer Volkswirtschaft. Anpassungen finden dabei im Wesentlichen über drei Kanäle statt: Löhne und Beschäftigung, Technology, und Produktion. Die bisherige Literatur konzentriert sich - im Rahmen statischer Modelle - auf die Analyse des ersten Kanals. Nur wenige Studien untersuchen Produktanpassungen, Veränderungen der relativen Produktionsanteile, Innovation oder Adaption neuer Technologien als Anpassungsmechanismus. Aufgrund des Fehlens geeigneter Daten sind bisherige Studien zum Anpassungsverhalten von Unternehmen hauptsächlich auf Industrieebene durchgeführt worden. Zudem existieren kaum Studien, die Maße zur direkten Erfassung von Technologien verwenden oder alternative Anpassungsmechanismen wie Gewinne oder den Produktmix untersuchen. In der ersten Projektphase lag der Fokus auf der Analyse der Lohn- und Beschäftigungsreaktion von Einheimischen auf Immigration, auf durch Rückwanderung induzierte Veränderungen in der Komposition der Immigranten, sowie auf den Produktivitätseffekten der Nachfrage nach spezifischen Fähigkeiten der Immigranten und auf ihren Beitrag zum Gastland. Die Forschungsergebnisse haben die bestehende Literatur in vielerlei Hinsicht erweitert. Beispielsweise wurde die Robustheit häufig verwendeter Schätzmethoden analysiert, innovative Identifikationsstrategien angewendet und die unterschiedlichen Anpassungsmechanismen einheimischer Arbeiter untersucht. Dabei wurden bisher vier Papiere erstellt, von den drei zur Publikation angenommen, eines sich in der Entwurfsform befindet und ein weiteres Projekt in Bearbeitung ist. In der zweiten Projektphase, die aus drei Teilprojekten besteht, wird der Fokus auf das Anpassungsverhalten von Unternehmen gerichtet. In Teilprojekt (i) sollen unterschiedliche Aspekte der Anpassung der Technologie und der Organisationsstruktur (T&O) des Unternehmens infolge eines Arbeitsangebotsschocks analysiert werden, sowie Anpassungen in der der Belegschaftszusammensetzung, von Löhnen, und deren Zusammenspiel untersucht werden. Des Weiteren werden alternative und bisher kaum berücksichtigte Unternehmensreaktionen untersucht, wie beispielsweise Austritte aus Tarifverträgen, Produktentwicklung und -innovation sowie die Erschließung neuer Einnahmequellen. In Teilprojekt (ii) liegt der Fokus auf den Dynamiken von T&O Anpassungen, um das Timing potentieller Kanäle zu untersuchen, mittels derer Unternehmen reagieren, sowie auf Heterogenitäten in den Anpassungsreaktionen. In Teilprojekt (iii) wird ein Untersuchungsdesign verwendet, das longitudinale Informationen über Immigranten und einheimische Arbeitnehmer innerhalb von Unternehmen nutzt, nachdem die Unternehmen einem unerwarteten Arbeitsangebotsschock ausgesetzt waren. In dieser Untersuchung soll analysiert werden, ob z.B. neue Immigranten den bisherigen Arbeitslohn unterbieten und inwieweit Unternehmen hiervon kurz- und langfristig profitieren.

Migrations between Africa and Europe (MAFE)

Principal investigator Chris Beauchemin (PI)
Description
The MAFE project is a collaborative research project (See the Page Partners) that started in 2005 with the objective to collect and analyze innovative data on migration between Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe. The key notion underpinning the MAFE project is that migration must not only be seen as a one-way flow from Africa to Europe. Return migration, circulation and transnational practices are significant and must be understood in order to design better migration policies. The MAFE project generated multi-sited, comparative and longitudinal surveys carried out in 3 African countries and 6 European countries. It offers a unique source of data that enables researchers to study the patterns, causes and consequences of African migration. Data collected in African countries can also be used to study other socio-demographic phenomena (union formation, fertility, socio-economic outcomes…

From Workers Self-Management to Global Workforce Management: Extended Case Study of the Transnational Steel Company, Arcelor Mittal in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Principal investigator Branka Likic-Brboric (REMESO Project leader), Zoran Slavnic (Scientifically Responsible), Carl-Ulrik Schierup (Participants from REMESO), Colin Williams (Participants not from REMESO), Jacklyn Cock (Participants not from REMESO), Sara Nadin (Participants not from REMESO)
Description
The project aims to explore the impact of foreign direct investments (FDI) on employment and human resource management practices, new organizational ethnic hierarchies, industrial relations and local communities in different national contexts. The focus is on acquisitions by multinational companies (MNCs) from emerging economies in the post-communist region of former Yugoslavia. The research is situated at the forefront of the research on globalization, migration, global workforce management and the local and transnational challenges to corporate power. An extended case study investigates the acquisition of the Bosnian Steel company by Indian Mittal Steel and its impact on industrial relations, labour standards and management practices, including Indian management relationships with the state, local management, trade unions and local community. The project is developed in collaboration with the Management School, Sheffield University. It also engages Professor Jacklyn Cock, University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, planning a joint comparative study of ArcelorMittal in South Africa and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Informalisation, labour migrants and irregular migrants: low wage labour intensive work and the restructuring of the Swedish labour market

Principal investigator Anders Neergaard (REMESO Project Leader)
Description
Studies of migrant labour in the Swedish labour market have generally focused on those having received permanent residence permission as refugees or through family re-unification legislation. This mirrors a situation in which labour migration has been quite restrictive in Sweden. Starting with a new labour migration reform in 2008, this is dramatically changing. The aim is to study the situation of labour migrants and irregular migrants in the labour market and their understanding of collective action, as (migrant) workers. In addition the project aims at studying the employers, especially the reason for employing these two categories of migrant workers.

Description
Attracting and retaining migrants can have many benefits for the host country and its economy, for example to mitigate skills shortages. Regulating immigration may prevent several negative consequences of a shrinking and ageing population. However, research and policy often focus on the highly skilled or so-called knowledge migrants (kennismigranten) as a source of human capital, which can increase innovation and a country’s competitiveness. A group of labour migrants that receives significantly less attention from research and policy, are the medium-skilled migrant workers. Although it makes up a significant share of the migrant population, this group is rarely supported by specific migration policies. Therefore, in this report we would like to answer the following central research question: What is known in available literature about the opportunities and limitations of filling labour shortages through labour migration, especially in the middle segment of the labour market?

Syrian Refugees’ Engagement in the Local Labour Market in Izmir, Turkey: Perspectives of Employers and Evidence - Based Policy Recommendations

Authors Selin Siviş, Ayselin Yıldız
Description
This policy brief explores the perceptions of Turkish employers regarding Syrian refugees across various economic sectors in Izmir (Turkey) and reports the key issues raised by local actors concerning local labour market integration practices. The study is based on fieldwork carried out in Izmir between July and December 2017. It includes 40 semi-structured interviews conducted with Turkish employers, policy-makers, practitioners and NGO members. It provides an analysis particularly regarding Turkish employers’ perspectives at sectoral and local levels, towards employing Syrians. Finally, the study integrates employers’ perspectives into local actors’ broader labour market integration practices and makes some policy recommendations based on conclusions from evidence-based field research. In broader terms, the policy brief intends to contribute the literature and advise policy makers on how to eectively integrate refugees into the labour market through local level practices and interventions.
