03 · Stakeholder landscape Three governed connections, each with an explanation These edges describe published, source-bounded roles—not endorsement, causality, responsibility, representation, or consensus.
Published governed edge relationship:v728:57d592f9f0bf7afd4af9
This issue applies a legal standard to Workers.
The verified holding expressly treats undocumented workers as employees under the NLRA and addresses retaliatory reporting.
Relationship type reltype:legal-standard-applies-to-role
Scope United States
As of 2026-08-25 Boundary. The edge identifies a bounded employment-role legal standard; it does not establish coverage, adverse action, comparator evidence, causation, liability, remedy, union position, or a shared worker view.
What remains unresolved Application outside the cited issue, role, jurisdiction, and source proposition requires separate evidence.

This issue applies a legal standard to Noncitizen residents.
The verified holding expressly addresses undocumented employees, creating a bounded role edge for noncitizen residents who are workers.
Relationship type reltype:legal-standard-applies-to-role
Scope United States
As of 2026-08-25 Boundary. The edge is limited to the source's undocumented-worker and NLRA context; it does not determine immigration status, work authorization, remedy, or a shared noncitizen position.
What remains unresolved Application outside the cited issue, role, jurisdiction, and source proposition requires separate evidence.

This issue applies a legal standard to Foreign-born residents.
The verified holding expressly addresses undocumented employees, a bounded subset of foreign-born residents acting as workers.
Relationship type reltype:legal-standard-applies-to-role
Scope United States
As of 2026-08-25 Boundary. The edge is limited to the source's undocumented-worker and NLRA context; foreign-born status alone does not establish coverage, immigration status, injury, or a shared position.
What remains unresolved Application outside the cited issue, role, jurisdiction, and source proposition requires separate evidence.
