| Summary: | This article employs survey data from the most recent Inter-State
Migrant Survey in Kerala (ISMSK) to show how out-of-state
migrants are kept isolated from the surrounding community.
Migrant workers to Kerala are unable to integrate with local
workers and residents to gain important information about local
wage levels, worker rights and working standards. Worse, local
labour unions are not trying to integrate these workers into the
labour market or inform them about local conditions. This lack of
integration poses a long-term threat to the strength and viability of
the Keralite labour movement, and the larger social model in which it
is embedded. |
