Some DOUCHEBAG in my state wants to BAN doing criminal background checks on people before hiring them...after all, it's just not fair.
proposal would ban job discrimination based on criminal history
"A newly proposed Seattle law could prevent employers from denying applicants jobs due to criminal history.Seattle City Councilmember Bruce Harrell has proposed preventing employers from looking at an applicant’s criminal record until late in the hiring process, and employers would not be allowed to discriminate against applicants based solely on their criminal records.
Harrell says his proposal reflects his belief that people with criminal histories are less likely to re-offend if they have more employment opportunities available to them.
----------------
The law would exempt jobs working with seniors or other vulnerable populations, along with those where public-safety issues are a factor.
---------------------------------The proposal still has to go through a council subcommittee before
being taken up by the full council sometime in the next month, KOMO
reported."
