The use of the term ‘migrant’ supports a particular construction of the legal subject of labour law, whereby the exclusion of some from recognition as ‘citizen nationals’ justifies exclusion from a formal employment relationship.

This paper examines UK labour and migration law to raise theoretical questions underpinning a current crisis of labour law.
