Julia Solorzano Co-Authors Amicus Brief in Immigration Case

Discussing how the move would incentivize employers to commit wage theft, Julia said, “Immigrant workers ... are protected by workplace laws like minimum wage and overtime laws,” and tolerance of workplace abuse “drives down wages and working conditions for all workers in this country.”
