Abstract: Historically, trade unions worldwide have been focused on representing interests and defining politics in their corresponding nation-state oriented frameworks. Labour migration has been a complicated topic, and also in German trade unions it has mainly been considered a challenge rather than an opportunity. In the light of current international migration dynamics and its significance in global capitalism, the question arises of whether the strategies and politics of trade unions can remain nationally oriented when increasingly more people are moving across borders to work. After outlining current labour migration dynamics, this article analyses fundamental dilemmas faced by trade unions in relation to labour migration and presents examples of innovative trade union politics representing the interests of migrant workers.
