Why this matters
We are aware of potential ICE visits to jobsites and construction employers here in Central Ohio.
These actions can pit U.S.-born workers against immigrants. That division weakens union solidarity and our bargaining position.
Low-road non-union contractors have historically relied on cheap immigrant labor to cut costs. That model also allows bad actors to take economic advantage of workers who may feel they cannot report wage theft or safety violations.
Our role is to support union members and help ensure safe, properly staffed jobsites. This resource is intended to help you navigate jobsite questions, protect workers and support organizing efforts where they arise.
