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.
