This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act to prohibit employers from hiring unauthorized immigrants and unions from representing them for collective bargaining purposes. Employers and unions can avoid violations only if they use a federally approved employment verification system to check workers' immigration status in good faith. The legislation also shields employers from labor law violations when they discharge unauthorized immigrants, meaning such firings cannot be used as evidence that an employer was retaliating against workers for union activities. The bill affects employers across all industries, workers seeking union representation, and labor organizations, and it has no specified funding or implementation timeline beyond referral to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
