Abstract. Migration process is a controversial phenomenon. On the one hand, engagement of migrant workers can solve a number of problems in economic sphere, and make up for shortfall of working population. On the other hand, labour migration, consisting of a large number of contradictions, has a potential for conflict. Many conflicts with migrants occur in the labour sphere. The causes of such conflicts are the following: illegal migration, low qualification of migrant workers, low level of their adaptation, violation of rights of labour migrants and a number of others.Labour unions, being a traditional defender of the interests of workers, along with the implementation of activities for the protection of foreign workers’ rights, can act as an institution for the prevention and resolution of labour disputes, involving migrants. Using the case-study method, we conducted the investigation of foreign experience of trade unions, in the
management and prevention of labour disputes, involving foreign workers. Based on the research, the recommendations for the improvement of effectiveness of trade unions in conflict management were developed. Labour union can act as a representative of migrant workers, provide legal advice and support to migrants, represent the interests of migrants in the process of negotiations with the employer, in court, etc.
Keywords: labour migration, conflict, labour conflict, conflict management, trade union, labour union of
migrants.
