This article reflects on the management of migrant labour in today’s flexible economy, drawing on secondary data concerning Italy’s main legal framework for foreign workers – the «Decreto Flussi» (Flow Decree). It examines how legislation shapes migrants’ working lives, showing how legal status weakens protection and bargaining power. The discussion situates these dynamics within wider debates on the tension between neoliberal regulation of migration flows and the autonomy of migration, which unsettles political and economic power structures.
