What’s next? Banning drug tests, criminal background check, past employment history, education history? We already know you can wear a dress to work if you’re a guy. Remember, anything that doesn’t produce equal outcomes for minorities must be inherently, institutionally racist. So all standards need to be dropped that might disproportionally affect minorities.
Ronan’s experience is at the heart of legislation introduced Tuesday by a group of Senate Democrats seeking to bar companies from using credit checks to weed out job applicants
I worked in HR for a major Tier 1 supplier to the auto industry for almost 35 years. The first 25 were at our manufacturing plant in Detroit and the last 9 at our corporate office in Troy.
Background "credit checks" for our manufacturing jobs were never a part of our hiring practices for several reasons. First being it serves no purpose, secondly, the cost involved and lastly, the applicant flow. Each hourly employee hired is subjected to a probationary period and can be terminated for any disciplinary violation. One's credit history would never even be considered.
To clarify my statements above, there is no way a minimum wage or slightly higher job applicant would EVER be subjected to a background credit check.
Keep in mind here, this guy was the posterboy for the Democrats in the push for this legislation. So what do we know about Democrats and their poster children that they constantly parade before the House and Senate?
As for this guy claiming that his doctor requested the background check, that is so full of crap that I can't believe the news source actually printed it without outing it as a lie!
Here is a typical cycle of events for a company that is hiring an hourly employee:
1. Application review
2. Selection of applicants for interview
3. Interviewing of selected applicants
4. Potential candidates selected and instructed to report to a company sponsored clinic for physical and drug screening at the cost of the company.
5. Final selection of applicant from those who passed the drug screening.
6. Final interview and most importantly, THE OFFER OF A JOB.
If I'm going to believe any part of the DEMOCRAT SENATE's posterboy, it will be that he did report for a physical. But I'm not buying his story that the doctor requested permission for a background credit check......not today and not tomorrow!
I suspect that the DEMOCRAT SENATE posterboy failed the required drug test and thus was not given any more consideration for the job..........
Which could also explain why he was not hired for a job with the state sponsored alcohol exchange...........
I don’t disagree with this. If you lose your job chances are you’re going to get behind in your bills. Then you can’t get a job because of that? I always thought it was stupid.
I hired a woman back in the 80s. She was a good salesperson and made some sales her first week. Then my boss called me and told me to let her go because she had bad credit. I asked him if he was going to let me go because my credit sucked, too. He admitted that so did his. I let the woman go.
Pervasive ignorance runs rampant in D.C.
