Migrants and the Different Perspectives on Diversity Management within Trade Unions: The Italian Case of a Trade Union and its Organisational Strategies.

This research sets out to identify the logic of organizational action in
the union relating to the inclusion of migrants within union structures. The
logic of organizational action is defined as the intentional and bounded
rationality that “influences the behavior and performance of organizations
whose decisions as such are only one aspect.” The focus is not migrants’
membership intended as recruitment, but their inclusion in positions of
responsibility and representation within unions. Concurrently, the paper
seeks to understand the meaning of “diversity” that is attributed to
migrants working within unions and to find the links between the
connotations of diversity and inclusion logics.
