Towards Protection of Vulnerable Labour Migrants in Sweden: The Case of the Thai Berry Pickers
Stockholm University, Faculty of Law, Department of Law.ORCID iD: 0000-0002-5141-089X
2018 (English)In: Towards a Decent Labour Market for Low Waged Migrant Workers / [ed] Conny Rijken; Tesseltje de Lang, Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2018, p. 149-168Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

This chapter illustrates how the scandals that followed the 2008 reform prompted the authorities and the trade union movement to adopt a – fairly successful – coordinated approach to prevent further exploitation of a particularly vulnerable group of migrant workers – seasonal migrant berry pickers from third countries. The result illustrates that, because labour migration gives rise to specific challenges in efforts to enforce domestic labour standards, the stakeholders responsible for the enforcement of these rights must resort to alternative methods, not used for domestic workers. Olsson also shows that well-targeted immigration control measures, in combination with other activities, can play an important role in strengthening the position of migrant workers.
