Fourth, both employers and trade unions in countries of origin and of destination must find ways in which this transnational labour market can be brought within norms of decent work and corporate social responsibility. With regard to employers, this entails not merely ensuring the fair labour practices of recruitment agencies and immediate employers, but the responsibility of end-of-chain food producers and the cosmetics industry in guaranteeing exploitation-free products to the consumer. For employees, at a minimum the industries involved should ensure the creation of opportunities for the exercise of rights to labour organisation and collective representation for migrant workers. The Thai Migrant Workers Union has done much to promote these rights for those working abroad. In Sweden, there is also the possibility of trade unions defending such workers’ conditions. Kommunal is actively monitoring the permit permission granting
of labour contracts in co-operation with the Migration Board.
