you can't really compare to post WW times because Migrants then were highly sought what with so many people being dead in such a short time and there being a huge amount of construction work to do. That's why the armed forces were offered citizenships to stay in the countries they'd been stationed in (my great uncles stayed in New Zealand, Canada and Australia rather than come home).
Sorry I can't see what your issue is with my last reply. There was no dissolution of trade unions in the UK during or after WW2. Indeed it's estimated that over 80% of the workforce at the time were covered by trade union agreements. During WW1 trade union membership rose dramatically.
Unless you mean Thatcher's reign (hah) in the 80s where 10 new acts were introduced to severely weaken the unions and caused major rioting.
