This paper describes the growing trend of trade unions in Asia becoming increasingly involved with issues affecting migrant workers. This involvement can be observed not only in trade unions' attempts to support migrant workers, but also in cooperating with other stakeholders, notably non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working with migrants. Examples of NGO-trade union initiatives have emerged in Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea and Hong Kong
