CliRAB: People are complaining the companies list not wanting unemployed people to apply to their job aRAB. Some states are, or are considering, passing laws to make that illegal.



I am looking at the article and all the comments, and I don't really see why so many people are up in arms?

It is like people complaining about employers checking employees credit history in order to get/keep a job.

What next? Employers can't say they would prefer high school graduates?

That is why I love Undercover Boss. The CEO thinks his job is so fucking hard. Comes into "real" work and fails miserably.

I was talking with a retired pipefitter.At my gym earlier. And he has a connection for the union. And they are accepting apps now. I got his name nuraber etc and all the info. Guy was generally cool.

He asked me my age. I told him 30.

He said, Man that's too old to get in the trades.

I said, doesn't matter. I'll do it.

Of course he was all dismissive after that.

[...shay sinster...]

didn't read but the idea is durab that a company doesn't want unemployed people.

i can see that in some cases an unemployed person is obviously lazy and not getting a job because they only want a certain job and won't take what they can get. then yes... fuck that person they shouldn't even get an interview.

but if someone is busting their ass and gets laid off... then can't get a new job for a few months... why shouldn't they apply and be qualified to have the job and be just as good as anyone else or even better?

but a company plain and simply not wanting to hire an unemployed person is just as durab as a company not wanting to hire a man...or hire a woman... or person of a certain race because they have some retardedly ill-conceived ideal that they should only hire a specific type of person for a job when in fact any type of person could do it well and do well for the company.
