- Summary
- This manual is about strengthening the trade union movement’s capacity to participate in the shaping of migration policies, promoting sound labour migration practices, reaching out to migrant workers; about making sure that the benefits of migration, when it occurs, are maximized for all: for the countries of origin of migrant workers, for the countries of destination, and for both migrant and non-migrant workers. This manual has been developed over a four-year period since the general discussion on migrant workers that took place at the International Labour Conference (ILC) in 2004. It has benefited from inputs from trade union and ILO experts on migration. The first drafts were tested by trade unionists in different regions during specific validation exercises. Their contribution has enriched the document.
