This is such a trap and another reparations scam perpetrated by race hustler. One can’t ask on an application BUT they can ask later in the process of hiring. It is a statistical fact that blacks have more convictions than whites. Add that with the affirmative action rampant in government linked jobs and tuh-duh. Here’s a trial lawyers dream suing everyone for refusing to hire a black because of a felony conviction.
I’m all for hiring felons if they have changed their lives around. I have two machinists. But they have to come out and admit they paid their debts. Now. In the Obama era it will just be a free for all “they didn’t hire me ‘cuz I’m black” party.
Yup. I agree. I want people to be honest about their past.
Some of us have fared worse than others and I treat every one with respect.
But I don’t think employers should be forced to hire felons just because its the politically correct thing to do.
