Abstract:
Hungary has experienced an acute labour shortage from 2016, especially due to the outmigration of workers to labour markets in western EU states. The resulting labour shortage has been compensated increasingly by the employment of migrant workers from neighbouring non-EU countries, from Serbia and Ukraine in particular. The Bargaining for Working Conditions and Social Rights of Migrant Workers in Central East European Countries (BARMIG) project assesses the role of established industrial-relations institutions in addressing the effects of migration on changing labour markets. It also examines how trade unions and employer organisations in Czechia, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland are responding to these changes.
