Abstract

How high is union density among migrant workers and what are the factors influencing the likelihood of employees from a migrant background joining a union? As the analysis of data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) 2011 reveals, union density among migrant workers is slightly below the level of workers without migrant background; within the group of persons with indirect migration background (i.e. persons who grew up in Germany) even this moderate difference disappears. Also, as results of multivariate statistical analysis reveal, there are only marginal differences between factors influencing the likelihood of workers joining a union. One difference, however, is striking: while union membership within the group of persons without migration background is associated with their support of parties on the left of the party spectrum, their counterparts with migrant background are also more inclined to be a union member if they support centre-right parties such as CDU, CSU and FDP.
