immigrant rights marchSEIU Local 1 is fighting to see that all workers, regardless of thier immigration status, have the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.  But our broken immigration system breaks up families and hurts all working people.  To protect the rights of all workers -- immigrant and native-born -- we need comprehensive immigration reform.

Immigrants' Rights

Anyone could be caught in a workplace raid or get a no-match letter, regardless of immigration status

Everyone in the United States has the right to remain silent and the right to refuse to answer question,  even of police or other government officials, other than to state your name.

Your employer cannot immediately fire you, or change or take away your union benefits because he received a No-Match letter with your name on it.

For more information or help creating a plan of action for your family or workplace, call the SEIU Local 1 Member Resource Center at (312) 233-8880.
