Reviews

I would strongly recommend reading this book both as an historical account of past trade union responses to migrant workers and as a base for further investigation into the current situation in Europe.A * CLR News In spite of the great complexity of the subject matter this empirical study impresses the reader with its simple and clear structure ... Highly recommended. * Gewerkschaftliche Monatshefte
