In the first part of the 20th century, labour unions in both France and the United States tended to adopt an anti-immigration stance. Afraid that these newcomers would take jobs away from the national labour market, the unions worked against their entrance. Haus argues that this stance is no longer the case today. Through the growth of internationalization and a growing acceptance of immigration rights, union leaders now tend to support more open immigration policies. This is an account of how unions have shifted on this position from the beginning to the end of the century.
