Carpenters union on shaky ground Opionion, by David A. Selden, Phoenix
Republic columnist Richard Ruelas stated that the carpenters union defended its hiring of non-English-speaking people for $8 per hour to hold protest signs by saying that the union will check the employees' immigration status every week ('Union hires immigrants for job site protests,' Local, Monday).
That is against the law. Employers cannot check the immigration status of their employees more often than the law requires merely because the employees don't speak English or they have the physical characteristics of an immigrant group.------------------------------------------- posted 6:59 AM :: reference link ::
