The Obama Administration sued Dollar General for using background checks on job applications because it’s racist. It’s now unlawful to discriminate against applicants who have committed a crime.
The Obama administration is suing Dollar General and a BMW facility in South Carolina for the alleged unfair use of criminal background checks for job applicants, months after warning companies about how such screenings can discriminate against African Americas.
The suits were filed June 11 by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which last year issued new guidelines that cautioned against rejecting minority applicants who have committed a crime and recommended businesses eliminate policies that “exclude people from employment based on a criminal record.”
The suits have re-ignited concerns over such issues as potential federal overreach, the overlap of state and federal law and companies losing their rights to protect customers, workers and assets while trying to adhere to fair hiring practices.

What it's really all about is driving any business that is not a member of the big-government/big-corporate criminal complex out of business, especially if that business provides employment to the welfare class, who should be collecting government checks so they are beholden to the feral government.
Crony-capitalists don't care if the pie gets smaller. They just want the whole pie.
It’s not. But we have to do it.
There has been no republicans with a spine since they bred the boneless, all white meat chicken.
In looking for a job the past nine months I have applied to well over 100 financial institutions, and just about every one said I would have to agree to a background check in ordered to be considered for a job with them...
*smacks head on desk*
Some of their employees steal the merchandise.
Oh, yes. We have been saying that.
Thank you for this. Shocking photo but right on.
What if “The Minority” applicants are not a true minority in the employer’s workforce, that location, that area?
“There are some Freepers who like me...”
You’re a sparkling treasure, here.
Aw crap, now I’m gonna have nightmares.
Just wondering what a “bump” and a “BTTT” actually do? I’ve seen them used in threads, but forgot to ask the posters.
Wouldn’t a job requiring a high school diploma, or college degree, also tend to “disproportionally” discriminate against minorities, who receive those credentials at lower rates than whites?
Nightmares tonite!
There's no one left to pray. They have all quit believing.
I wonder why.....
Yeah...I'm sure African-American Charleze Theron bristles at the implication that she's a criminal.
Oh wait...you meant blacks! My bad...must've misunderstood.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Don't just pray.....do something.
Just hire white people, your odds of getting good non criminal workers are better.
I could apply to DG (49yrs in NYC Mad Ave & 22 yrs in my own Farm Business) and keep the criminal out. They won’t allow CCW here in PA, so it’s a moot point. I encouraged all my 604 employees over 22yrs, to legally carry.
Any other suggestions?
