Representatives from Chicago area unions, worker centers and legal practices came together on Thursday to discuss changes to federal laws that affect the rights of workers, particularly the area's large immigrant worker population.

More than 100 men and women gathered to discuss changes to the law, proposed changes and best practices for protecting the rights of workers under federal programs such as Social Security No-Match and E-Verify which are grossly inaccurate.  

The event was sponsored by the Chicago Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO and University of Illinois Labor Education
