No one should discriminate against people with criminal records?

They would have to go after BMW showing a pattern, if no pattern no win in the lawsuit.
Lawsuits are the reason people can’t easily hire ex felons. if anything happens you get lawyers looking for 1000% awards because you knew the hire had a criminal record.

It’s the new fad called “ban the box”. Where you check on an application if you have a criminal history or not.

EEOC is pushing it pretty heavily. They’re saying that if the criminal charge has no bearing on what the employee does, then it should not be used for determining if an employee gets that job.

So if your public company’s policy is no criminal history for the last 7 years (or something similar) and you don’t hire one of the “special” individuals for a position within your company. The EEOC will come after you.

Private companies or semi safe from this, but I guarantee you that the EEOC is just waiting for a test case against a private employer.

No, no, no! No one should discriminate against someone who is black with a criminal record. If the person is white, feel free to hold the criminal record against him.

You are a dumb ass. Next time you get on a Boeing air craft know this. Everyone one of us that have worked there have had a back ground check and a piss test. You can not pull over to a cloud to check out the plain in flight.
