UAW Leads the Fight Against Trump Admin’s Attacks on H1-B Visa Holders

On Friday, October 3rd UAW once again led the way in fighting against the Trump administration’s xenophobic policies. The International UAW and Local 4811, together with other organizations, are plaintiffs in a case against the illegal $100,000 employer fee for H1-B visas imposed on September 19.

The Trump administration’s announcements about this proclamation have been confusing and contradictory. The Higher Ed Department is working to get clarification on the impact on UAW members, such as whether it affects current H-1B holders and whether university employers are included. Expect updates on the lawsuit as it progresses and on additional lawsuits UAW is joining to protect our international members.
