| Abstract: | The post-communist New Member States of Eastern Europe have experienced significant forms of labour exploitation, leading to increasing labour force `exit' on a scale not thus far anticipated. Migrant workers from the Baltic States, paid lower wages and with poorer working conditions, have been at the centre of a number of high-profile labour disputes in the EU-15. In this article, Latvia is used as a case study in order to discuss the implications of increasing labour migration for the New Member States and for labour standards in the wider EU. |
