There are no legal restrictions of exclusion of migrants regarding membership and participation in trade unions. Some local or sectorial unions are ethnic.

Qualitative Info

There are no legal restrictions of exclusion of migrants regarding membership and participation in trade unions: Labour Code allows foreigners to be members and managers of trade unions. De facto, some local or sectorial unions are ethnic (building trade, cleaning) as there is the ethnicisation of some tasks or activities.
