On the job discrimination lets discuss it......

[yellowtapesport]

I didn't get a job once because I had a felony...I actually got hired for the job and when the fingerprints came in they called me in and was like HELL NO..they had the FBI background check and that shit was like a nigga motion of discovery with all charges on it whether I was convicted or them shits was dropped or whatever AND I had put on the application all the shit I was convicted of and they went and looked at my application and came back with the Shaq face like 'OK, but still..' lol

Thats gotta be some type of discrimation, right?

nah not really it says when applying that employers have the right to not hire felons based off of what type of felonies you might have. Discrimination in this case would be if they denied you but hired a person of another color with the same felony as you and yall both have the same qualifications for the job

 

[jono]

Discrimination against felons should be number one on the list but because people can't sue its not considered discrimination. That shit happens more than anything else when it comes to workplace discrimination.

There are even places that lowkey extort felons. They make the felon pay a kickback to keep his job. There are places where felons are only hired under the table for lower wages than if they were in payroll. There are places where felons are made to work longer under threat of losing a job too.

Losing a job to a felon is different than anyone else as usually holding a job is a condition of parole.

 

[yellowtapesport]

Didn't some states have a 'remove the box' initiative that would require employers to remove the question about convictions from an application altogether..what happened to that?

Also, remember when employers didn't give a fuck about Misdemeanors? Even them shits will stop you from getting a job nowadays smh

Earlier this year, Stephen Nordness pledged “real-life changes” at his Alabama-based temp agency, Automation Personnel Services Inc.

Nordness was responding to a Reveal investigation that found rampant discrimination at his company, which provides temporary employees to industrial employers throughout the South. Whether Automation’s customers wanted only white workers or only Latinos, only men or only young people, the temp agency was happy to oblige, according to dozens of former employees. Black workers often were hit hardest by the illegal practice.

Just days after the story ran in The Birmingham News, Nordness, Automation’s president and CEO, vowed to get to the bottom of it by hiring an outside firm to investigate.

“I’m not someone that is going to look at this and try to sweep it under the carpet,” Nordness said in a January interview.

Last week, however, Automation’s vice president, Randy Watts, said the investigation had concluded and the results would “remain confidential.” He did not provide any details.

The company, Watts wrote in a short statement, “remains committed to hiring the most qualified workers available and contributing millions of dollars to local economies in the 33 locations we serve across the U.S.”

In March, Nordness wrote to Reveal that he was going to meet with the outside investigator shortly.

“After the meeting I will gladly give you a complete list of changes we have implemented,” he wrote.

Instead, Watts subsequently wrote by email, “We can say that we are reviewing and assessing our next steps and remain committed to being a first-in-class employer of choice and promoting a workplace that is free of discrimination and harassment.”

Michelle Clemon, a local human resources consultant hired by Automation, told Reveal that she did conduct an investigation but would not comment further.

After Reveal’s story, Automation also set up an employee complaint hotline through the Texas-based firm Employment Practices Solutions. The number is 1-800-837-6855. Automation did not respond to questions about the complaints it has received so far.

This is just 1 case with unknown number of employers. I can't even imagine how many others are following these practices. I definitely don't think it's right to with hold that kind of information from the public, because if any of those employers are receiving my tax money or if I'm giving them business, I got a problem with that.

Got denied a job once because I have a gang of Misdemeanors.

Got fired from another gig because they wanted me to shave (I had a goatee) and they wanted me to either be clean-shaven, or keep a mustache.

Fuck looking like "Foo-man-choo", I grew a Kimbo Slice beard, and stayed unemployed for a year.

Black folks act different when it comes to the white boss and the black boss. Both could have the same leadership attributes but black subordinates will go harder for the white boss than they will for the black boss.
