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)

One can find out a lot of dirt on potential hires using google and social media.

Many a resume hit the circular file when I was screening them based on the results of those searches.

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!

Is De Blasio trying to get some of his friends hired?

If you fail to exercise proper due diligence on a background check on an employee and they harm someone intentionally as in raping them and a background check would have revealed that the employee had a prior conviction for that same act guess what? You’re getting sued.

Background checks just make good sense unless you’re a criminal with a checked past.

Good one!!

Doubt you will be around long enough to worry after they let all the druggies out of prison to make room for “right wing extremists”.

APATHY.

Only 21% of NYC residents bothered to vote when De Blasio won.

You have yet to cross the great divide and accepted the fact that none of these hairbrained ideas are supposed to succeed. They are intended to fail and their failures to usher in chaos and collapse. On a theoretical level, the Cloward-Piven strategy is nearing full implementation; on a practical level, the arsonists are now in charge and they are burning our country down.

DeBSeo needs to personally run a tent camp on the Gracie Mansion property, with its new fences.

I took the low turnout to be more of an indication of how few Americans remained in NYC (I know they said “registered voters”, but like my area a dozen miles to the west of NYC there are simply less & less people eligible to vote). If 21% of eligible voters in NYC voted DeBlasio in, then I suspect 60% of the registered voters died years ago (but are still on the rolls).

This would be my requirement if I was hiring someone.
Criminal History
Drug Abuse
Professional Work History
In that order

Your question also brings to mind employers have a right to know the background of a applicant/new hire.

What next? credit checks to go, too?

douchebag mayor

I agree with that. It’s so easy to understand, it really tells me about someone’s intelligence if you have to explain this to them.

Employers get it from both ends.

Lawsuits by prospective new hires and huge liability once on the payroll.
