UnionMigrantNet
The UnionMigrantNet (UMN) is a European network of contact points providing services to migrants established, managed and supported by trade unions. It is promoted by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC).
The main goal of the network is to support fair labour mobility and migration. The services provided by the UnionMigrantNet contact points are aimed at promoting the collective and individual interests and rights of migrants regardless of their status.
Our aims
- Strengthen trade union activities aimed at protecting the individual and collective rights of migrants
- Increase the visibility and accessibility of services and the facilities that support the integration of migrants
- Encourage trade union membership among migrants
The UnionMigrantNet is geared to the integration and inclusion of migrants in their host societies. The European trade union contact points provide information and assistance to migrants, irrespective of their nationality, migration or residence status. The Migrant Point EKA is a Contact Point of the UMN since 2015.
Project: UnionMigrantNet and Cities Together for Integration
The project aims at exchanging and transferring knowledge, experiences and best practices on integration between 9 UnionMigrantNet (UMN) members and 8 local authorities from five EU countries, namely Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Slovenia. Building on the already existing European network of trade unions providing services to third country nationals, the project will seek to enhance the network by fostering partnerships with local authorities, key actors in the reception and integration of migrants and refugees.
