How bad can this get? Well the EEOC not only wants to ban background checks. They want the job applicants who BMW refused to hire because of criminal records…to now be hired, given back pay, and legal costs.
How long before we have quotas?
this is a dangerous place
This is unreal. I can remember when such a thing was unthinkiable and I’m not that old. How can a business attract customers if customers can’t do business with them without fearing for their safety? This is like being in the Twilight Zone. Even Obamacare isn’t this absurd or this destructive.
Am I alone in fearing for the future of this country?
This may have something to do with the status of labor unions within these companies.
I seriously wish Obama would not return from Africa. Maybe he can run for President in his ‘native Kenya’ and just stay there.
The actual filing. Unbelievable.
Would forcing businesses to risk hiring people who would endanger themselves, their other employees, and their customers be covered by the Moral Absolutes ping list?
While I wouldn’t force a company to do so, I personally have no problem with hiring non violent cons.
When I was a factory foreman about 90% of my painters were living in halfway houses. They were certainly superior to the kids HR tried to stick me with.
“Obama’s EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) is charging the automaker BMW, and the national retailer Dollar General, with discrimination, and violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act for using criminal background checks before hiring employees. “
Is it a violation of the 1964 civil rights act to do background checks on people trying to buy a gun?
Hiring criminals, punishing employers for hiring American citizens instead of illegal aliens, increasing worker visas from foreign countries, punishing employers with 0bamacare.. hmmmm.. This isn’t a jobs plan. This is 0bama’s destruction of the private sector.
Criminals, homosexuals, and criminal illegal aliens are all you will soon be allowed to hire.
Don’t worry. Obama and the Congress do not have
to operate under this unConstitutional and egregious “rule”.
Unbelievable!
Yes...we have officially gone down the rabbit hole!
not only do businesses have a right to check the backgrounds of job applicants, they have a positive duty to do so...
lest customers or other workers get mugged or raped (or even killed) “because of negligent hiring.”
This is
1. a duty to society at large
(including customers)
2. a duty to other employees of the firm, and
3. a duty to the firm itself (in that careless hiring can lead to expensive litigation and judgements for damages, injuries, wrongful deaths, etc.)
I wonder if in the job description the potential employee is required to conceal carry (legally of course), if this same government would mandate the criminals receive their CCW?
There have been many instances of lawsuits being filed against competitors in my industry for failure to sufficiently screen employees who were sent to work in the customer’s homes. Rightfully so, in my opinion, however, this could turn my industry on its head. We entrust our employees with everything you own, access to your children’s rooms, and potentially every bit of identifying information that you keep in your home. Yet, by this logic, we are supposed to be willing to hire thieves, rapists, addicts, and any other miscreant that rolls in the door? That is going to work out well......
So what happens to “at-will” states where you can be fired for any reason or no reason?

I saw something about this recently and meant to ping it out. This is so beyond outrageous - forced to hire criminals! The DoJ has a special outreach to hire homosexuals (of course, as well as schizophrenics, the mentally disabled and dwarfs. I am not kidding. I guess "criminals" will now be added, but criminals already run the place.
So now regular business are being forced to hire thugs, murderers, child molesters, rapist, thieves. The only idea I can come up with to stop this bullet train to the nether world is a mass general strike, nation wide. Any other ideas welcome. Now we are not allowed to hold or act on our own moral integrity or principles. Words fail me.
Anyone wanting on/off any of my ping lists, freepail me.
Do child murderers get better jobs than mere bank robbers? Rape a two year old and you get to be a bank President?
