Working in the UK: Polish Migrant Worker Routes into Employment in the North East and North West Construction and Food Processing Sectors
This report presents the findings of a TUC-funded project that sought to identify the main routes into employment for Polish migrant workers in the North East and North West construction and food processing sectors. Its findings show that the two sectors offer real opportunities and challenges for trade unions to organise those who most need help. Indeed many unions in the sectors have already taken up the challenge and have started to see real successes in organising groups traditionally seen as hard to organise.

A draft discussion paper which sets out a more optimistic scenario for the future of collectivism at work and includes lots of numbers, to help inform debate. It includes a forecast of UK union membership in 2010 based on an occupational analysis of LFS figures and an analysis of union membership figures for all CO registered unions, adjusted for mergers/transfers from 97 to 04. It argues that UK union members are becoming much more Professional/Associate professional/Managerial; that occupational identity is crucial and partly explains UK Unions' relative success; and includes some reflections on the charachteristics of growing unions.

Union membership and density in Britain has experienced substantial decline since 1979. The fall in private sector membership and density has been much greater than in the public sector. The size of the union sector, measured by employer recognition, has shrunk. Membership decline has been accompanied by financial decline. Much of the decline occurred before 1997, under Conservative governments. Since 1997 and the return of a Labour government, the position has in some respects stabilized. Currently, unions have a substantially reduced economic impact, but a continued, if limited, role in workplace communication and grievance handling, often as part of a voice regime including non union elements.
