Odd law, I'd overturn it. Kudus to employers who offer jobs to felons, but I'm hard pressed to think of many felonies which don't impact employment, particularly if the employer is liable for his employees actions. It's not a felony to vote for a Republican in Wisconsin.

Felonies that don’t impact employment, there aren’t any really, you put down Felon on a job application and it’s usually thrown out unless the place is felon friendly. Mostly your PO will tell you what employers are felon friendly, my dad is a felon, and a few friends.

My first thought on reading this is how in hell does a POS convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering a 9-year-old girl ever get out on parole, much less get to sue someone for employment discrimination?

I understand Wisconsin doesn't have a death penalty, but couldn't they arrange to have a jerk like that meet the same fate as Jeffrey Dahmer?

My first thought was utter horror that a person who had been convicted of sexually abusing and murdering a 9-year-old girl had been released on parole at all!

Some crimes are so far beyond the pale that they forever, and I do mean forever, put the perpetrator totally outside the community of mankind and if they are not exterminated like the diseased hyaenas they are, they should at least be kept under lock and key until they are stone cold dead.

So, in Wisconsin (and four other states) I would have no choice to NOT hire a felon under state law.

If the felon gets violent with a customer or fellow employee I get sued.
Yep, THAT will encourage business to move to Wisconsin!

By Fed. law I am prohibited to hire felons in my line of work, even if I were dumb enough to want to.
Looks like a good thing I have no inclination to move to Wisconsin, even less now that I am aware of this stupidity.

[Fester Chugabrew]

There is a proper job waiting for any and every felon. It consists of pedaling a bicycle to feed the grid for climate alarmists and vegetarians.

The law is not needed. This is America, where private businesses can hire and fire who they want.

(do I really need the "/s"?)
