No one should discriminate, but I hope this wasn’t bogus.

using criminal background checks with a disproportionate effect on black employees and applicants.

And the logical conclusion would be ...

But, then, there's no call for logic these days.

And they wonder why companies outsource.

This is the government’s contention that criminal background checks should not be performed on prospective job applicants.

They are also testing the “disparate impact” theory.

On each “Employee” Candisate” they found, there was a Yellow Sheet as long as my arm, and my arm’s 17 inches long.

In a country where someone can become its President without having to pass a background check, why should a background check be necessary for employment at an automobile plant?

They should go to the logical extreme and mandate affirmative action goals for black felons. That’s what’s coming. It used to be that your parents and teachers warned that committing a felony would pretty much destroy your life.

I really think that this type of discrimination is hurtful. Why should someone with only a criminal record, no skills, inability to speak English, and propensity to steal and do drugs NOT have the same opportunity as every other American?

If we could only give them high paid office jobs (ala Marie Harf)...

In 2013, the EEOC accused BMW of violating former employees' civil rights by using criminal background checks with a disproportionate effect on black employees and applicants.

Seems like a rather racist statement made by the EEOC.

I can tell that nobody who has posted so far has read the article.

From the article, 88 people had been working at the plant already. One of them for 12 years and one for 14 years. When the service provider they worked for was terminated, a background check was made of the 88 people who had been already working at BMW (for re-employment at the same job at the same facility). 70 of the 88 people were terminated even though they had already been working there for years.

I think that BMW will have a hard time explaining why they were OK for 14 years but suddenly were dangerous.

Discrimination, racially? Really?

How many whites with criminal records have they hired? That would be the proof they need. < /sarc >
