As students return home for the semester, we all may feel slightly more distant from the academic discussion and debate that takes place on campus. Fortunately, in today’s digital world, separation from the campus community does not necessarily result in our disengagement from these conversations.

With millions of immigrant workers in essential jobs at the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical that all immigrants know their rights at work and have the information they need to ensure their health, safety, and wellbeing during this unprecedented public health crisis.
In this webinar, presenters will discuss several areas of workers’ rights as they relate to immigrant workers and the COVID-19 pandemic. These protections are covered in a new Know Your Rights resource co-authored by NILC, the National Employment Law Project, and the Occupational Safety and Health Law Project. This new resource, and this webinar, are designed to answer frequently asked questions from immigrant workers and their advocates related to COVID-19 in areas such as:
• Safety and Health on the Job
• Using Collective Action to Improve Workplace Safety and Health
• Paid and Unpaid Time Off from Work
• Unemployment Insurance
In addition, the presenters will discuss how changes in recent federal COVID-19 relief legislation impact immigrant workers in the areas of Paid Sick Leave, Paid Family Leave, and Unemployment Insurance.
This webinar will take place on Wednesday, April 15 at 1:30pm ET/12:30pm CT/ 11:30am MT/10:30am PT.
Presenters:
Emily Tulli, Senior Attorney, Occupational Safety and Health Law Project Ingrid Nava, Associate General Counsel, SEIU Local 32BJ Jessie Hahn, Labor and Employment Policy Attorney, National Immigration Law Center Joanna Cuevas Ingram, Staff Attorney, National Immigration Law Center
