On the problem of protecting the rights of foreign citizens engaged in labor activity

The paper deals with issues related to the protection of the rights of foreign citizens engaged in labor activity in modern conditions. The author conducted an analysis of law enforcement practice, during which the main problematic issues of labor disputes involving a foreign element were identified, which formed the basis of court cases. The article focuses on the fact that one of the significant institutions of a democratic society should be the institution of the Commissioner for Migration, which would be introduced to assist in ensuring the rights of a foreign citizen employee and would act as a guarantor of the protection of workers' rights, at the same time strengthening the rule of law in this area. The author also proposes, in order to protect the rights, to actively involve non-governmental structures for the prevention of violations of the rights of migrants by informing newly arrived citizens through compatriots. In the course of the conducted research, the author comes to the conclusion about the need for further improvement of legislation in the field of protection of the rights of foreign citizens engaged in labor activity.
