Abstract: The report is prepared within the Bargaining for working conditions and social rights of migrant workers in Central East European countries (BARMIG) project. The report assesses the role of established industrial relations institutions in addressing the increased presence of migrant workers in domestic labour markets, and analyses how, and with what capacities, trade unions and employer organisations in Czechia respond to these changes and challenges. The report assesses constraints, opportunities and challenges for industrial relations actors stemming from the increased presence of migrant workers in four traditional sectors – healthcare, construction, hospitality and retail services, metal manufacturing, as well as in the digitized economy (i.e. platform work) in Czechia. Of particular concern to the research is the labour market integration of migrant workers from countries neighbouring the EU, particularly from Ukraine and Serbia. More specific aims are to map policy influence opportunities for trade unions and employer organisations in the areas of migration policy, protection and representation of migrant workers’ interests, fair employment, and equal rights and integration for migrant workers, as well as through collective bargaining.
