And They'll Likely Make History in the Process

From the E-Verify website: "U.S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States - either U.S. citizens, or foreign citizens who have the necessary authorization."

I'm all for unions and people trying to make a living, but isn't it going too far to demand that Burgerville break the law?

Use of the E-Verify system, which expedites the work of ICE, is not required in Oregon or in most other states.

@Swaran Bertoldo: I didn't say they had to use E-Verify, I said that it was illegal to hire non-citizens. I simply acquired the information from the E-Verify website.

This is also part of the law: "It is also illegal for employers to not verify work authorization. Three days after an employee is hired, employers should correctly complete an I-9. Failing to do so will subject employers to criminal and civil punishment."
So are you saying that it's legal for Burgerville to hire undocumented workers? Yes or no?

E-Verify isn't the point. Working people won one here. And the problems working people in this country face have next to nothing to do with the presence of the undocumented.

Please wait...
