In a separate case announced Tuesday, the EEOC filed a nationwide lawsuit against Dollar General (DG, Fortune 500) based on its policy of conditioning job offers on criminal background checks. This policy, the commission said, "results in a disparate impact against blacks."

Dollar General said it will "vigorously defend" against the suit.

It would seem that if BMW fired all of their non-black employees at the same time using the same criteria, no prejudicial behavior could be proved.

In the last two months, in all the Lunch-n-Learn trainings I've gone to, the EEOC has been warning that they were just waiting for the perfect test case to take this background check idea to court.

They put out a discussion idea about not asking about backgrounds until the second or third interview, and if a candidate has a background to take a solid look "one more time" before deciding against a particilar candidate.

They've been salivating to get their hands on a disparate impact case caused by background checks.

I loathe the EEOC.

Obama’s been gunning for this freedom of association aspect of the First Amendment, insofar it involves hiring among other associating, for some time.

Just toss it among the Amendments to the Constitution his administration has already shredded.

The EEOC admits that Blacks are Criminals

I hope both companies fight this Black Racism. Black community needs to be held accountable and responsible....not honest folks

this is the jessie jackson shakedown crowd.

This is to force them to use certain “favored” (crony) bond and consulting firms.

I hope they fight and break the back of these litigation bullies.

Also it is probably supported by unionista thugs.

So does pre-employment, random and post-accident drug testing also discriminate against “people of color” disproportionately, too, then? Maybe they should file a suit against the insurers who mandate and the companies who implement such policies, as they just can’t say no to drugs (and crime)and that makes it racist to fire them.
