Rep. David Trone (D-Md) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif) have introduced legislation that would bar employers from inquiring into the criminal history of job applicants. Specifically prohibited is asking a job applicant if he has a criminal record before offering the person a job.
Waters explained that "criminals have just as much right to a job as anyone else. Yet, if potential employers are allowed to poke around for evidence of crimes that may have been committed by applicants they are apt not to hire them. This is part of the systemic racism we are trying to eliminate in this country."
Trone hastened to point out that "our bill would not prohibit a company from taking action against an employee who steals from the company, rapes a co-worker, or murders a customer. All we are asking is that any prior thefts, rapes, or murders not be allowed as grounds for not offering a person a job. The best way to nip this tendency in the bud is to prevent the issue from being raised prior to the hiring decision."

Guns, yup. Jobs/voting? Meh.
Sooo,dems are admitting they don’t have a problem with pedos working with kids?????
We had a case like this at our store..We had no idea he had just come out of prison and was not nice at all....He killed his neighbor then killed himself...He lasted 6 months on the outside....
Not satire.. not satire in the least bit. It is called the workforce Justice act. It gives grant money to States and local jurisdictions, to not permit businesses to do criminal background checks on criminals.
I’m just thinking of all the wonderful opportunities for criminals, like in our public schools, or in daycares, or Banks..... Where rapists, child molesters, murderers, thieves, Bank robbers, terrorists, and other ne’er do wells can now be employed.
Yeah, I didn't think so. The government lawyers would have to deal with:
-bus drivers who've lost their licenses for DUIs
-counselors who've sexually assaulted others
-cops who've been fired from other jurisdictions for police "brutality"
Let these government officials hire criminals to be their personal bodyguards, drivers, and staff.
Kind if like a double negative?
not in maxies world....She wants this bill passed
To do a background check, the employer would need ID. Wait, are they allowed to demand ID?
We always had a few workers with ankle bracelets on. Usually drug/alcohol related offenses. Some made it, some did not.

LOL...LOL...LOL.....
