Rule
The NLRB lacks authority under the National Labor Relations Act to award backpay to undocumented workers who were unlawfully discharged, because such an award would conflict with federal immigration law (IRCA).
Significance
At the intersection of labor and immigration law, the decision limits remedies available to undocumented workers for NLRA violations, subordinating labor policy to immigration enforcement goals.
