Abstract: The IG Metall (metalworkers’ union) is a mirror of society – this was the conclusion made following a current study carried out by the Berlin Institute for Integration and Migration Research (BIM). IG Metall requested scientists at the institute to examine the membership structure of the trade union. The representative survey that was carried out revealed that IG Metall is successful in addressing employees and achieving common objectives independent of their country of origin. In addition, there are above-average numbers of members with migration backgrounds in many elective posts. This high level of participation in operational and trade union representation contradicts a number of scientific publications claiming the opposite is true. On the whole the IG Metall proves itself to be a strong example of successful integration. Where participation is legally guaranteed and effectively carried out, emancipation is possible.
