You may wish to use the sample letter on the next page if you are a worker in California who

completed the I-9 form when you were hired, you have complained about a violation of your

workplace rights, and your employer has now asked you to provide more or different documents to

re-verify your eligibility to work in the United States.

rights may have been violated. If you would like to speak to someone, you can contact our workers’

IMMIGRANT WORKERS

It is illegal for employers to retaliate against any worker because she asserts her workplace rights—

for example, by contacting federal immigration authorities. Unfortunately, this type of retaliation

does happen, and it can have serious consequences for immigrant workers. If you lack legal status or

work authorization in the United States, you should consult with an immigration attorney about the

risks employer retaliation could entail for you.
