Bill > S3215

This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act to make it an unfair labor practice for employers and labor organizations to employ or represent unauthorized aliens, with some important exceptions. Specifically, employers and labor unions would be prohibited from hiring, recruiting, or representing unauthorized immigrants (as defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act), unless they can demonstrate a good-faith effort to verify the individual's immigration status using official employment verification systems. The bill provides a safe harbor for employers and unions who use these verification systems, meaning they would not be penalized if they unknowingly employ an unauthorized alien after making a sincere attempt to check their status. Additionally, the bill stipulates that if an unauthorized alien is discharged from employment, this termination cannot be used as evidence of employer animus or discrimination against the employee's labor rights. The legislation aims to prioritize employment opportunities for legal workers and create stronger mechanisms for preventing unauthorized immigrant labor, with the stated goal of "Putting American Workers First" as reflected in the bill's title.
