Fines can be factored into operating costs, but no one wants to go to jail.

Union: 240 undocumented janitors terminated

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Half the workers at a janitorial company operating in the Twin Cities are being fired because they failed to provide documents proving they were legally in the U.S., according to their union.

The 240 employees at Harvard Maintenance would be dismissed by the end of the month, said Christopher Nulty, spokesman for the Service Employees International Union Local 26.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security notified the company it suspected some workers were illegal immigrants, and in December the company gave its employees 90 days to produce proper documentation, Nulty told Minnesota Public Radio News.

Two years ago, more than 1,200 janitors at ABM, another large commercial cleaning company in the Twin Cities, lost their jobs after a similar immigration audit.

Javier Morillo, local president of SEIU, told MPR that the investigations of Harvard Maintenance and ABM didn't fit with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's stated goal of focusing on employers who knowingly hire and exploit unlawful workers.

"The janitors of the Twin Cities that are in the union, they're not depressing wages for janitors," Morillo said. "There are janitorial companies that pay much, much less that actually depress wages that are not being targeted for ICE audits."

ICE said in a statement that it wouldn't confirm or deny a possible ongoing investigation. Harvard Maintenance of New York did not return two calls seeking comment Tuesday.

No mention about arresting and deporting the illegals who are using fake or stolen ID. Where are we missing on that one? They know that ICE is on to them..like they are going to come in for their final paycheck...good luck on that one.

They probably send their anchor baby kids in to pick up their final checks.

SEIU will lose $100,000 in union dues for knowingly keeping Illegal Aliens in their ranks.

According to Twin Cities Business, 240 SEIU Members have been fired from their job because a Government investigation revealed their illegal alien status:

"New York-based Harvard Maintenance is firing more than half of its Twin Cities work force—about 240 employees—after an immigration audit revealed that workers were illegal immigrants.

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 26—the local union that represented the employees—confirmed that an immigration audit was initiated in December by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Workers were given 90 days to present documentation proving that they were legal citizens, and that 90-day period ended on Monday.

Javier Morillo, president of SEIU Local 26, said that the audit doesn’t align with what U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities say they are targeting—“egregious employers that exploit workers.â€

SEIU will lose $100,000 in union dues for knowingly keeping Illegal Aliens in their ranks.

AWWWW, cry me a river! It should be 100K for each illegal, but seeing as this is Obozo's good buddy SEIU they will let it go at that.

The entire Union roster needs to be looked at

So, it is to the Union's advantage if illegals are hired............

I would love to be making $13.00 an hour, no taxes, free food, medical and housing!! I could drive a nice car and wear nice clothes too!!

Since none of them are being deported , they get a set of new docs and find a new job , no sweat
