Immigration Class Action Lawsuit Filed by Nearly 100 Undocumented Fired Employees Against Cafe Express
Nearly 100 undocumented employees who were fired last week, filed a class action lawsuit against Cafe Express, its parent company Wendy’s International, Inc. and its former law firm.
According to the lawsuit, the restaurant defendants and the Houston-based law firm missed a 2001 deadline to file paperwork that could have allowed the employees to become permanent U.S. residents. The employees then were fired because they lacked resident status.
Under the Legal Immigration and Family Equity Act of 2000, undocumented immigrant workers were allowed to file for permanent residency status. The one-time opportunity was dependent upon their Alien Labor Certification Application being on file April 30, 2001.
