Dear Jennifer Laswell
Trim-Tex policy of threatening workers who received Social Security Administration “no match” notifications is unnecessary, immoral and potentially illegal. Enacting this policy will tear families apart and irreparably harm our communities. Trim-Tex should reinstate its previous “no match” policy which respected workers' privacy to correct this problem on their own accord and fulfilled all of the company legal obligations.
The company's policy appears to be a rash enactment of a proposed Department of Homeland Security regulation. This proposal is currently not the law and could never become the law. By implementing this regulation, Trim-Tex could violate federal immigration law's criminal prohibitions against re-verifying I-9 documents, also Trim-Tex could being violate Employee Classification Act of Illinois.
Our apprehension is echoed by Social Security Administration and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. These governmental agencies are concerned this proposal will promote discrimination in the workplace. Community members have cause for alarm about unfair workplace practices in Trim-Tex facilities.
Trim-Tex employees deserve to work free from fear, harassment and intimidation. Please respect their rights and comply current Social Security Administration guidelines by reinstalling your previous policy.
