Abstract

The object of the present article is the ‘third dilemma’ of equal versus special treatment and its organizational dimension, arising in the relationship between the Union and migrant workers. In particular, the author attempts to contribute to a better understanding of how the union incorporates migrants within its own structures. Drawing on two different strands of literature on workers’ unions (one focusing on the union as an organization; another focusing on the relationship between migrants and unions), three ideal-types of organizational responses to the issue of inclusion and integration of migrants within workers’ unions are identified. On the basis of the adopted theoretical framework, the author exposes an analysis of empirical data that were collected throughout a qualitative research on an Italian union confederation, the Cgil. The aim of the research is to understand the characteristics of the organizational responses which govern migrants’ inclusion and integration within the Cgil. L’oggetto del presente articolo e il cosiddetto terzo dilemma che il sindacato si trova ad affrontare nel rapporto con i migranti - trattamento uguale versus trattamento speciale - in una dimensione organizzativa. In particolare l’autore intende contribuire a capire come il sindacato incorpora i migranti all’interno delle proprie strutture. Attingendo da due tipi di letteratura sul sindacato (la prima relativa al sindacato come organizzazione; la seconda relativa alla relazione tra migranti e sindacati) si sono individuati tre ideal-tipi di risposte organizzative all’inclusione e all’integrazione dei migranti nelle strutture sindacali. Sulla base del quadro teorico adottato, l’autore espone un’analisi del materiale raccolto durante una ricerca qualitativa svolta su una importante confederazione sindacale italiana, la Cgil. L’obbiettivo e quello di capire quali siano le caratteristiche delle risposte organizzative della Cgil rispetto all’inclusione e all’integrazione dei migranti.
