Summary/Abstract: There has been a tendency in the Czech Republic for a greater cooperation among institutions controlling different aspects of labor migration, this has had an affect on the access of migrant workers to equal rights as employees. This article argues that migrant workers can enjoy their economic rights only if certain limits have been set on the cooperation between the Foreigner Police and Labor Offices controlling the legality of residence and work of migrants on one hand and Labor Inspectorates controlling the protection of workplace rights and labor relations on the other. The situation is compared with that in the United States.
