"Skill or Record"
July 14th 2008 16:17
The unemployment rate continues to rise and employers' continue to make background checks a condition of employment.
Why would you not hire someone with a record?
This individual could possibly be your most productive and reliable employee, but instead you hire the individual without a record and they quit the job in a month. Everyone makes mistakes and the only thing that distinguishes most of the people in the world is that those with the charges got caught and those without them, didn't get caught. Denying someone of a job when their charge is old or irrelevant to the job's skill requirement is totally insane. America says that everyone should make an honest day's pay, but it should say that everyone should be given the chance to make an honest day's pay. We live in a judgemental world from judging on race and sexuality to criminal records. Jobs are based on skill record not criminal record, though a pedafile shouldn't work with children and an embezzeler shouldn't work at a bank, an embezzeler shouldn't be denied a job as a bus driver because of an embezzelment charge. This is simply not logical and needs to change.
