240 Suspected Illegal Aliens Fired in Minnesota for Not Providing Valid Work Papers
A janitorial firm in Minnesota is firing more than half of its workforce after workers were unable to provide valid paperwork proving that they are authorized to work in the United States. According to a spokesman for the SEIU, the employees at Harvard Maintenance will be let go by the end of the month.
The Department of Homeland Security conducted an audit of the company's employee files last year, and notified the company that it suspected that many of its employees were working illegally. In December, the company told its employees they had 90 days to provide valid paperwork.
Two years ago, another janitorial company in Minnesota fired 1,200 workers after a similar audit.
