The International Dimension of Contemporary Labour Relations. A Special Look on Construction Industry

Summary/Abstract: Globalization and openness to international of the construction industry generates an intra-European mobility, but also enhances the presence of workers from outside the European Union. The paper is aiming to deal with two of the fundamental problems accompanying the internationalization of employment: on the one hand the social and psychological vulnerability shown by migrant workers, on the other hand the reluctance expressed by local workers who perceive them as competitors for occupying a limited number of jobs. Policies and strategies to address these two issues – are often contradictory. The role of labour law may be here, above all, an ethical one.
