FAQ
New York is not a "right-to-work" state, which means if an employee is hired at a company where the workforce is unionized, they may be required to become a union member.
In many cases, yes. In New York, a private-sector employer is not required to have good cause to discharge an employee. The employer can do so for reasons many people might consider unfair, such as: to replace you with a member of the boss's family.
Right-to-work laws, prevalent in certain U.S. states, grant employees the freedom to work without being compelled to join or financially support a union as a condition of employment.
If you work in NYC, you have rights regardless of your immigration status. The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) created this overview of important City, State, and federal laws so you know your rights at work. Note: “Employee” and “independent contractor” are different worker classifications.
When you take a new job, you are required to fill out the employee's section of USCIS Form I-9 by the end of your first day on the job. You then have three business days to present your new employer with documents proving that: you are who you say you are, and. you are legally authorized to work in the United States.
In other words, this measure will permanently force employees to join a labor union that is already entrenched at their employer in order to keep their job. While Illinois is currently a NON right-to-work state, this amendment will effectively prevent Illinois from ever becoming a right-to-work state.
At 12.8 percent, Illinois had the 13th-highest unionization rate among all states. A total of 707,829 people in Illinois were unionized in 2023, down from nearly 847,000 in 2015.
This means that employees cannot be scheduled for more than six (6) days in a row and employers are required to provide one 24-hour rest period within seven consecutive days. This rule applies to all full-time workers in Illinois, with just a few exceptions which we will discuss later in this article.
Through the Form I-9 process, employers verify, in a nondiscriminatory manner, whether their employees possess proper authorization to work in the United States.
