General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo Releases Memo on Ensuring Rights and Remedies for Immigrant Workers

Excerpt:  “In a new memorandum to all field offices released today, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo announced critical policies to ensure that immigrant workers have the protections they need to freely exercise their rights without retaliation under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). In it, she details casehandling procedures that will allow the Agency to effectively serve the unique needs of immigrant communities and ensure that the NLRB is not only accessible to all workers who seek the NLRB’s assistance, but also a safe place where they are treated with dignity—without regard to immigration status or work authorization.”
