Immigrant Rights. The Organization will not discriminate against refugees, individuals seeking or granted asylum, individuals with temporary visas, DACA recipients, or people with any other immigration status that allows for lawful work authorization. Concerted Action will not reject valid work authorization documents or ask for additional documents beyond what is legally required for work authorization verification. Upon reasonable request by an employee, Concerted Action will provide necessary documentation confirming employment or salary. Upon an employee’s request, Concerted Action will assist the employees in obtaining necessary visas and work permits for living and working in the United States during their employment with Concerted Action. Should the Organization be required to remove an employee from employment due to the expiration of the employee’s work authorization document, the Organization shall reinstate the employee to the job without loss of seniority upon receipt of the renewal work authorization document if the employee provides appropriate documentation within ninety (90) calendar days of their removal from employment. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Organization’s practice will be to require a valid, signed warrant prior to allowing any Law Enforcement including but not limited to, the police, the FBI, and ICE, to enter any facility owned or leased by the Organization where staff, contractors, or volunteers of the Organization work; provided that the Organization may authorize entry by the police or the FBI in emergency circumstances (i.e. medical emergency or a physical safety issue). The Organization will provide training for employees responsible for interacting with law enforcement who operate in the Employer’s all office(s) in how to interact with ICE or other law enforcement agents. This training will provide information regarding the rights of people, regardless of immigration status, in incidents involving law enforcement and address steps such staff should take should an immigration status-related event occur near or at their office space.
