It is illegal in the US for your employer to take action or retaliate against you for unionizing. You have the right to unionize regardless of immigration status. Student workers have been forming unions for decades with significant international student participation throughout those campaigns. In those years, none have reported problems with their visa as a result of their organizing eﬀort. Additionally, the purpose of forming a union is that we gain the ability to stand up for each other. If a student worker was targeted for participating in the union, the rest of the community would stand up and call on the administration to stop that type of behavior. It is our right as workers to make this decision collectively, and it is inappropriate for an administrator to use threats and intimidation to discourage us from making that choice.
