Investigation urged into immigration practices of Uline company owned by Maga donors

Investigation urged into immigration practices of company owned by Maga donors

Milwaukee city council member calls for inquiry into Uline’s previous ‘shuttle program’ to bring in Mexican workers

Uline is privately held but is estimated to generate $8bn in revenues per year, and employs about 9,000 people.

“Billionaires fund the crackdown, then exploit the very people targeted by it –because they think money shields them from consequences,” Zamarripa wrote on a post of Facebook. “Wisconsin needs transparency, a real investigation, and accountability that applies to everyone.”

Uline declined to comment on Zamarripa’s remarks. The company has previously declined to comment on detailed questions about the shuttle program, which sources with knowledge of the matter said was abruptly halted in late 2024, when the Guardian first reported on the practice.

“Now we learn that workers in Pleasant Prairie say Mexican employees were pushed into dangerous, exhausting conditions and punished for speaking up – all while fueling Uline’s enormous wealth,” Zamarripa wrote.
