Since the last edition of this book 61/2 years ago, worksite enforcement has surged at both federal and state levels. By 2024, 26 states have enacted employer sanctions laws, with nine mandating E-Verify for all eligible employers and 12 requiring it for contractors engaged in state or local government projects. Other states have implemented immigration laws pertaining to employers, some without E-Verify requirements. Companies now face severe penalties, such as license revocation and contract denial, if found hiring unauthorized workers. The enforcement of employer sanctions and anti-discrimination regulations under the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) falls under the jurisdiction of two agencies: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Immigrant and Employee Rights Section of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for employers. However, navigating these laws has become increasingly intricate for today's employers, with further complexity anticipated. The I-9 and E-Verify Handbook aims to streamline this convoluted process, aiding human resource professionals, immigration advisors, and others in guiding employers through these challenging immigration regulations. The authors, Bruce E. Buchanan and Greg Siskind, discuss the array of statutes and regulations in an easy-to-understand, question-and-answer format with straightforward illustrations, flowcharts, checklists, and sample documents designed to help implement and improve an employer's immigration compliance program.
Over the last fifty years in the United States, unions have been in deep decline, while income and wealth inequality have grown. In this timely work, editors Richard Bales and Charlotte Garden - with a roster of thirty-five leading labor scholars - analyze these trends and show how they are linked. Designed to appeal to those being introduced to the field as well as experts seeking new insights, this book demonstrates how federal labor law is failing today's workers and disempowering unions; how union jobs pay better than nonunion jobs and help to increase the wages of even nonunion workers; and how, when union jobs vanish, the wage premium also vanishes. At the same time, the book offers a range of solutions, from the radical, such as a complete overhaul of federal labor law, to the incremental, including reforms that could be undertaken by federal agencies on their own.
