Studies from Denmark, Sweden and Finland almost finished

Project partners in Denmark, Sweden, and Finland have carried out studies on different aspects of the working conditions of migrant workers. In Finland a qualitative interview study about social inclusion and the participation in trade unions and working life was carried out among Estonian and Russian speaking immigrants. The Swedish Trade Union Confederation LO carried out a project on the mobility of labour with the idea to try and analyse major infrastructure investments to give a picture of the procurement process, payment flows, contractors and staff agency chains, as well as the composition and conditions of the labour force. In another example of transnational cooperation, the United Federation of Danish Workers 3F in cooperation with the Swedish trade union Kommunal and the Norwegian trade union Fellesforbundet, conducted research on migrant workers’ living and working conditions, to investigate trade unions strategies towards securing proper working conditions.
