Abstract: The status quo of the violation of migrant workers’ interests is analyzed, the results are not so optimistic. The overall situation of migrant workers’ training rights is poor; migrant workers ’rights to enjoy legal holiday are seriously violated; the working conditions and health protection measures are weak; migrant workers’ rights to get legal payment are damaged to a different degree; the social security mechanism for migrant workers is imperfect and there are still large gap between supply and demand. Combining with the relevant theories of Game theory, migrant workers’ interests obtained under the situation of entering right protection organizations and do not entering the organizations are analyzed, the results show that entering right protection organizations is reasonable choice. The positive functions played by the improvement of the reputation of labor union in solving the problems of right protection are proved from the perspective of the Game Theory. Through the analysis on the operational effects of the right protection organizations of migrant workers, it can be detected that the functions of organizations owned by migrant workers themselves is mediocre but the labor union plays an important role in migrant workers’ right protection. The protection of migrant workers’ interests tends to legalization, so in order to further perfect the right protection of labor union, the labor union should legalize the protection of migrant workers rights and the specific measures on improving the reputation of labor union are put forward.
