Our Legal Labor Rights as Documented & Undocumented Workers:
- Join a union
- Attend a union meeting on our own time
- Talk to a union organizer
- Declare ourselves as union supporters
- Assist in forming a union
- Even if we do not yet have a union, we are allowed to engage in a “concerted effort” with two or more workers to improve our working conditions
Employers are forbidden by law to engage in certain conduct. It is ILLEGAL for our employer to…
- Threaten us with discharge or punishment if you engage in union activity
- Threaten to shut down business if we form a union
- Prevent us from recruiting union members during non-working hours
- Question us about union matters, union meetings, or union supporters
- Ask whether we belong to a union or have signed up to join a union
- Transfer or assign us to a less desirable work assignment because of our union activity
- Threaten to terminate our benefits because we unionize
- Threaten to lay you off in retaliation for joining a union
