Hey, at least DiBlahblah is consistent. As sure as the sun rises, he will do something else completely lacking logic or intelligence. Ends ban on cell phones in schools, so students can yak and text all day instead of paying attention in class. Supports end to voter ID so his illegal friends can vote with fewer impediments. And now, no criminal background checks, so you can end up with a thief or druggie or worse in your place of employment. Next, he’ll be selling 1 acre lots of NYC public parks to developers. Oh wait—he already did something along those lines.

> 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!

That sounds like a Soros funded faux named charity much like the rest that have surfaced under 0’s watch. Its like having a foundation with the name, Senior Citizens Nutrition Foundation, and finding out later its funded by Soros to ensure that It signs up seniors citizens to ensure that they are well fed and healthy before being ground up to make soylent green products.

I have two felons working for me. But they came in and told me right up front. It’s hard to find good tool and die makers. I have no problem. They paid their debts.

Would I go hire a felon to run my books? NOPE!

The BATF will take exception to this in any shop that has an FFL.

You mean those sophisticated employers of NYC won’t be able to spot the 5, 10, 15 year etc. gaps in the resume?

The resume is hard to check these days. Nobody is willing to say anything about former employees except the dates of employment. Companies that went out of business do not provide even that. The applicant can also claim to be self-employed, and that cannot be checked at all (except by a test of his skills.) HR people are not professional investigators. If an applicant gives a certain phone number as a reference, there is no guarantee that it's not the applicant's friend or a relative on the line - who will say whatever, as there is no duty to tell the truth. For that reason the value of unchecked references today is near zero.

But if a criminal commits a crime while on the job, the company will be held liable, right? I mean, nothing progressives do makes any sense.

The stupid are outnumbering critical thinkers.

Two to one.
