Fair Mobility assists in the enforcement of fair wages and working conditions for migrant workers from Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries on the German labour market. Fair Mobility lies within the political responsibility of the DGB Executive Board. It is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Labour.

Within the framework of Fair Mobility
...studies are conducted in which problems which regularly affect migrant workers from Central and Eastern European countries were analysed as is the need for advisory work in matters of social and labour law. Recommendations for political action have been developed.

... eleven local advisory centres have been established where mobile workers receive information and support in their native language regarding labour and social law. The advisory centres cooperate with similar organisations at local institutions and are part of a nationally active network.

... educational materials are developed in order to raise awareness and to shed light on the situation of mobile workers. With these modular training dossiers, workers' and staff council members are being educated since they are generally the first point of contact in a company or government agency for questions regarding wages and working conditions. Moreover, the staff is being trained in further advisory centres which are associated with trade unions.

... additional measures are being developed and implemented which support and intensify the transnational dialogue between trade unions .
