Know Your Rights – Protect Yourself at Work and Beyond

As Teamsters, we stand together to protect our members—not just on the job, but in their daily lives and communities. Understanding your rights when dealing with law enforcement, including immigration agents, is crucial to safeguarding yourself and your family.

Your rights impact your job security, personal freedom, and overall well-being. Knowing what you are entitled to can mean the difference between staying protected or facing unnecessary risks. Whether at work, at home, or on the road, it is essential to stay informed and exercise your legal rights.

On this page, you’ll find critical information about how to handle interactions with law enforcement, what documents to carry, and how to protect your home and personal information. These rights are not just legal protections—they are your shield against unjust treatment.

At Local 703, we are committed to ensuring that every member is aware of their rights and empowered to stand up for themselves. We urge you to review this information, share it with your family, and always be prepared. Your rights matter—to you, to your job, and to us as a union.
