For too long, undocumented people have been discouraged from reporting unfair or
unsafe working conditions, out of fear of retaliation or deportation. That is starting to change.
Last week, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced it will issue letters of
support for undocumented workers seeking temporary immigration protections from
the Department of Homeland Security so that they can report unsafe or
discriminatory working conditions without fear of deportation. Making temporary
protections more accessible to immigrant workers allows them to assert their
rights on the job and signals an important shift in the government’s approach. To learn more about the DOL guidance, check out our factsheet here

All working people, regardless of immigration status, deserve to work in a safe
workplace, with a living wage, and the ability to speak up about labor
violations without fear of retaliation. Immigrants are a central part of our
country’s workforce and protecting their rights is critical to ensuring the
rights of all workers.
This monumental labor rights victory was won by organizers and supporters like
you who have long campaigned to secure protections for all immigrant workers. To

[[link removed]]The Biden administration’s decision to protect immigrant workers is key to
advancing its commitment to support worker organizing and empowerment, and a win
for all workers.
We look forward to continuing to work with the Biden administration to create
more just and inclusive protections for all working people, including immigrant
workers.
Thank you for your support.
