I didn't get a job once because I had a felony...I actually got hired for the job and when the fingerprints came in they called me in and was like HELL NO..they had the FBI background check and that ? was like a ? motion of discovery with all charges on it whether I was convicted or them ? was dropped or whatever AND I had put on the application all the ? I was convicted of and they went and looked at my application and came back with the Shaq face like 'OK, but still..' lol
Thats gotta be some type of discrimation, right? -

nah not really it says when applying that employers have the right to not hire felons based off of what type of felonies you might have. Discrimination in this case would be if they denied you but hired a person of another color with the same felony as you and yall both have the same qualifications for the job -
Discrimination against felons should be number one on the list but because people can't sue its not considered discrimination. That ? happens more than anything else when it comes to workplace discrimination.
There are even places that lowkey extort felons. They make the felon pay a kickback to keep his job. There are places where felons are only hired under the table for lower wages than if they were in payroll. There are places where felons are made to work longer under threat of losing a job too.
Losing a job to a felon is different than anyone else as usually holding a job is a condition of parole. -
Didn't some states have a 'remove the box' initiative that would require employers to remove the question about convictions from an application altogether..what happened to that?
Also, remember when employers didn't give a ? about Misdemeanors? Even them ? will stop you from getting a job nowadays smh -

I haven't been personally, but I'm about to start putting pressure on Automation Personnel.
https://www.revealnews.org/blog/alabama-temp-agency-to-keep-discrimination-probe-results-secret/Earlier this year, Stephen Nordness pledged “real-life changes” at his Alabama-based temp agency, Automation Personnel Services Inc.
Nordness was responding to a Reveal investigation that found rampant discrimination at his company, which provides temporary employees to industrial employers throughout the South. Whether Automation’s customers wanted only white workers or only Latinos, only men or only young people, the temp agency was happy to oblige, according to dozens of former employees. Black workers often were hit hardest by the illegal practice.
Just days after the story ran in The Birmingham News, Nordness, Automation’s president and CEO, vowed to get to the bottom of it by hiring an outside firm to investigate.
“I’m not someone that is going to look at this and try to sweep it under the carpet,” Nordness said in a January interview.
Last week, however, Automation’s vice president, Randy Watts, said the investigation had concluded and the results would “remain confidential.” He did not provide any details.
The company, Watts wrote in a short statement, “remains committed to hiring the most qualified workers available and contributing millions of dollars to local economies in the 33 locations we serve across the U.S.”
In March, Nordness wrote to Reveal that he was going to meet with the outside investigator shortly.
“After the meeting I will gladly give you a complete list of changes we have implemented,” he wrote.
Instead, Watts subsequently wrote by email, “We can say that we are reviewing and assessing our next steps and remain committed to being a first-in-class employer of choice and promoting a workplace that is free of discrimination and harassment.”
Michelle Clemon, a local human resources consultant hired by Automation, told Reveal that she did conduct an investigation but would not comment further.
After Reveal’s story, Automation also set up an employee complaint hotline through the Texas-based firm Employment Practices Solutions. The number is 1-800-837-6855. Automation did not respond to questions about the complaints it has received so far.

This is just 1 case with unknown number of employers. I can't even imagine how many others are following these practices. I definitely don't think it's right to with hold that kind of information from the public, because if any of those employers are receiving my tax money or if I'm giving them business, I got a problem with that. -

All Temp agencies should be investigated. There is a bunch low key discrimination they do. -
Got denied a job once because I have a gang of Misdemeanors.
Got fired from another gig because they wanted me to shave (I had a goatee) and they wanted me to either be clean-shaven, or keep a mustache.
? looking like "Foo-man-choo", I grew a Kimbo Slice beard, and stayed unemployed for a year. -

Black folks act different when it comes to the white boss and the black boss. Both could have the same leadership attributes but black subordinates will go harder for the white boss than they will for the black boss.

There's something in the news about a ? was told to go home and get high heels otherwise she can't work for the company. So she went to the papers screaming sexual discrimination, " I can't believe in 2016 women still have to wear heels, blah blah blah". I'm sitting here thinking, discrimination? ? that's a ? uniform. If that's what your company expects you to wear and you don't wanna wear it....Leave ? . I have to wear a tie every damn day, I don't wanna wear a tie but I wanna get paid. Or can I call discrimination that men are expected to wear ties to work in 2016.
