Abstract

This article examines and evaluates the experiences of British unions in recruiting and organizing Polish migrant workers. It concludes that while British unions have been pursuing a range of relevant initiatives that seem to address key challenges confronting the recruitment and organization of such workers, these initiatives embody a number of significant weaknesses that cast doubts over their long-term outcomes.
