Obama administration moves to squash employer background checks
The Obama administration wants to limit employer background checks to protect blacks and Latinos, who have higher rates of committing crimes. The EEOC is a Soviet Style commission that enforces affirmative action on the private sector. The five members are chosen by Obama.
“The ability of African-Americans and Hispanics to gain employment after prison is one of the paramount civil justice issues of our time,” said Stuart Ishimaru, one of three Democrats on the five-member commission.
But some employers say the new policy — approved in a 4-1 vote — could make it more cumbersome and expensive to conduct background checks. Companies see the checks as a way to keep workers and customers safe, weed out unsavory workers and prevent negligent hiring claims.
The new standard urges employers to give applicants a chance to explain a report of past criminal misconduct before they are rejected outright. An applicant might say the report is inaccurate or point out that the conviction was expunged. It may be completely unrelated to the job, or an ex-con may show he’s been fully rehabilitated.
The EEOC also recommends that employers stop asking about past convictions on job applications. And it says an arrest without a conviction is not generally an acceptable reason to deny employment.
While the guidance does not have the force of regulations, it sets a higher bar in explaining how businesses can avoid violating the law.
“It’s going to be much more burdensome,” said Pamela Devata, a Chicago employment lawyer who has represented companies trying to comply with EEOC’s requirements. “Logistically, it’s going to be very difficult for employers who have a large amount of attrition to have an individual discussion with each and every applicant.”

April 27th, 2012 at 11:49 amLOL. this reminds me of my fight this week with my left-wing anti-white college “teacher”. the school was pushing a women and “minority” seminar, soo being the white man with balls that i am. i asked where is the white male section? LOL. she flipped her lid, swore, and got the poor brainwashed white girls to start yelling at me as well. im laughing at them (they be making my point) and surprisingly a fellow white male talks about his “almost employment” in the public sector. where they OPENLY TOLD HIM because he was a white male he would be DEAD LAST on the hiring list LOL. wake up my fellow white males or end up like whites in south africa.

Too much wine tasting, misdemeanor wreckless driving..you don’t get the “just sit behind a desk and type” job. No sense. What you supposed to do..take the bridge? REally. Too much information access…is this generations “McArthy-ism”. NUTS. Murderers rapists..don’t want them in your schools…but in California…you can’t ask about a Marijuana misdemeanor ..but you can ask about an alchol. Alchol..way more legal than marijuana. Nuts. ; Know of a woman fired..from a typing job.due to a background check coming back of a misdemeanor 7 years prior. Certainly, she might drive that typewriter drunk on the workplace. Woman fired…from Wells Fargo after 5 years employment due to a random background check showing shop lifting 40 years pror?
