Strategic partnerships

Since its creation in 2014, the collective has validated 6 general assemblies and the number of member organisations has increased from 14 to 30. The last GA took place in February 2022 and allowed the revision of the collective's strategy and the renewal of the Steering Committee. In accordance with the rotation system provided for in the internal regulations, the UGTT union therefore handed over responsibility for the general coordination and its secretariat to a new member, designated by the assembly on a consensual basis.

The 7 organisations designated by the members to ensure the coordination of the collective (2022-2025):
General Coordination: CGIL (Italy)
European coordination: CCOO (Spain) & CGT (France)
Maghreb Coordination: UGTT (Tunisia) & UMT (Morocco)
West Africa coordination: UGTCI (Ivory Coast) & USTN (Niger)

List of RSMMS members

Internal regulations

The member organisations of the RSMMS are committed to coordinating the protection of vulnerable workers, regardless of their nationality and status, and to contributing to the migration agenda within the labour movement.

The strategy of the collective is based on the following 4 pillars:
1. Assistance and support for migrant workers in trade union structures and documentation of violations faced by workers, especially migrant women;
2. Coordinated involvement of member unions in social dialogue mechanisms related to the establishment of bilateral labour and social security agreements;
3. The multiplication of policy dialogues and the convergence of actions for the access of undocumented migrant workers to their fundamental rights;
4. Denouncing to public opinion the contradictions of current policies and raising awareness of the dynamics structuring human mobility.

Strategy of the collective

The experiences carried out have demonstrated that the theme of migration, due to the transversality it imposes and the central place it occupies in relations between States, makes it possible to strengthen the trade union power of the organisations that act as a trade union front and social partner.

>European Pact on Asylum and Migration
In the framework of the discussion process of the European Pact, the collective has addressed to the European Commission and the Members of the European Parliament joint recommendations to the trade unions of the three regions, based on solidarity, responsibility and full respect of Human Rights.

>Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration
The collective has been advocating innovatively at the UN throughout the GPM negotiation process. In the form of a note articulated in twelve points, the collective played an important role in making the voice of trade unions heard in the UN process.
