Trade unions have played an important role in promoting better working conditions for employees in the hospitality industry in Sweden. Trade unions such as the Swedish Hotel and Restaurant Workers’ Union (HRF) have benefited Sweden’s hospitality industry (HRF, n.d.). Trade unions have won collective bargaining agreements, improved working conditions and pay, lobbied for gender equality, and fought for immigrant workers' rights (UNIONEN, n.d.a). Efforts by trade unions may be needed to promote inclusivity, challenge discriminatory behaviors, and assist employers in dealing with uncertainty, resulting in a more diverse and equitable labor market. These measures have made the business more appealing to migrants, who may anticipate fair treatment and better working conditions. One of the most critical responsibilities for achieving and maintaining human capital-based competitive advantages is recruitment (Baumet al., 2016). By lobbying for fair employment practices and improving working conditions for foreign workers, hospitality trade unions in Sweden can have an impact on migrant recruitment. Considering the significance of trade unions and their impact on migrant recruitment in the hospitality industry, this thesis aims to investigate the role of hospitality trade unions in Sweden. The focus will be on the documented initiatives undertaken by Swedish hospitality trade unions to promote migrant recruitment and the documented challenges associated with it. The findings of this study are based on a secondary data-gathering approach, and the data analysis employs thematic analysis. There were a total of 13 themes named and analyzed concerning and answering the following research questions: “What are the documented initiatives employed by hospitality trade unions in Sweden to promote migrant recruitment?” and “What are the documented challenges related to the hospitality trade unions in Sweden regarding migrant recruitment?”. It is important to note that this thesis follows a descriptive approach, aiming to characterize the properties of the phenomena (University of Waterloo, n.d.), rather than proposing specific improvements or implementations. In light of the research conducted, further exploration into how hospitality trade unions in Sweden can enhance their initiatives in promoting migrant recruitment or addressing challenges related to it in the sector is recommended.
