“Brave new world: Mayor de Blasio bans NYC employers from asking applicants about criminal history”
Does this apply to people applying to be on the police force?
Yeah, they always asked if I had anything more than traffic citations, and made me pee in a bottle.
Under what statute do they have the right to regulate this?
The background check is a must, and in certain positions so is the testing.
This is one PC stance that will be reversed in short order.
The first guy that kills a co-worker and they find out he was a very problematic guy criminal record wise, the City of New York will pay out more money than mast people make in a lifetime.

The de Blasio decline of the Big Apple continues.
You mean those sophisticated employers of NYC won’t be able to spot the 5, 10, 15 year etc. gaps in the resume? Won’t call the alleged former employers? Won’t spot the “parole officer” cited as a professional or character reference? Won’t require transcripts, diplomas, or licenses from cited institutions? And they call us unsophisticated country bumpkins.
So banksters and wall street can’t ask about your criminal background. Sweet. I think if I had a large firm I would be looking to Houston for some new digs.
Does this legislation include the NY school district?
Did deBlasio train in Chicago?
Aren’t liberal nirvanas great?
I hope no employer ever asks about my account on FreeRepublic.

China, Mexico, etc. are delighted at the news. They know it will spread to the rest of the country and more jobs will be heading their way.
Free speech is a civil right extended to the states per the 14th Amendment. C’mon, libs. Let’s see you fight for the civil rights of employers as much as you fought for sodomy!
Well maybe de Blasio’s next newly hired body guard will turn out to be fresh out of jail for _____ (fill in the blank)
Illegal alien full employment act.
This idea to not ask job applicants about criminal history is being pushed by non-profits funded by the CCHD (Catholic Campaign For Human Development) Its one of many crazy leftist social justice ideas that Catholics should reject.
Never EVER donate to the CCHD collection!
DeBSeo needs to personally run a tent camp on the Gracie Mansion property, with its new fences.
