Employers Warned Against Illegal Retaliation
(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries is warning employers against threatening to report a worker to federal immigration officials. It violates Oregon's law against retaliation. Employers might make the threat to keep employees from reporting unsafe, unjust and illegal working conditions. Christina Stephenson, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, says threatening an employee with a call to ICE is one of the most egregious forms of retaliation and will be prosecuted.
