The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has ruled that companies cannot refuse to negotiate with unions that are founded and/or composed largely of illegal immigrants.
This goes against the intent of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act that specified that any company that knowingly employed undocumented workers would be committing an illegal act. The law further states that any company that discovers it has hired illegal immigrants must fire those workers.
It is illogical then that one must deal with a union comprising illegal immigrants who have been fired from their jobs precisely because they are illegal immigrants. If workers are in the United State illegally and have been fired form their jobs, it is absurd that they should be able to negotiate as representatives of a union!
This is another example of the courts making laws that fly in the face of logic and which will have a negative effect on countless companies throughout the country.
