Makes it an unfair labor practice to employ or represent unauthorized workers.
This bill would change federal labor law to make it an unfair labor practice for businesses to hire or recruit workers who are not authorized to work in the U.S. It would also make it an unfair labor practice for unions to represent these workers in collective bargaining. However, employers and unions would not face penalties if they made a good-faith effort to check a worker's authorization using an approved system.
Today, federal labor law does not specifically call it an unfair labor practice for employers to hire unauthorized workers or for unions to represent them. If this bill became law, it would make these actions unfair labor practices. This means employers and unions could face penalties unless they made a good-faith effort to verify a worker's authorization using an approved system.
