Prof. Raluca DIMITRIU University of Economic Studies - Law Department, Bucharest, Romania Globalization and openness to international of the construction industry generates an intra- European mobility, but also enhances the presence of workers from outside the European Union. The paper is aiming to deal with two of the fundamental problems accompanying the internationalization of employment: on the one hand the social and psychological vulnerability shown by migrant workers, on the other hand the reluctance expressed by local workers who perceive them as competitors for occupying a limited number of jobs. Policies and strategies to address these two issues - are often contradictory. The role of labour law may be here, above all, an ethical one. Keywords: workers, labour law, construction JEL Codes: K12, K22, K24 1.Introduction Worker mobility is one of the great challenges of contemporary labour law. Both sides of the employment relationship are now the subject of unprecedented mobility: employers, who often have the possibility of relocation and workers who, voluntarily or forcibly, are looking for a job in another country than their own. The construction industry is one of the favourite grounds for the manifestation of this mobil- ity. We are dealing here with nationals of a Member State of the European Union who conclude contracts of employment in another Member State as an expression of their freedom of move- ment, with workers having concluded the contract on the territory of another state, being sent to work in another state (posted workers), or with workers from outside the European Union, already carrying out activities on its territory. The provisions of labour law are meant to balance the legiti- mate interests of workers who choose to operate in a country other than their country of residence with those of workers in the host country. 5
