Hey, buddy, guess what you are a real piece of work. It is your kind that sit behind a desk casting your dumb opinions on hard workers everywhere. You have a clean record, you say, well enjoy it because it appears that is all that you have.
The ability of a company to not hire you based on even a non-job related conviction really needs to be reviewed by the US Supreme Court. The figures show there is a vast injustice being done to those that have paid their debts to society for wrongs they have done in their youth. Companies are able to delve into the background of applicants more than they should be allowed. Denying meaningful employment for even the slightest blemish. In some states there is even no law limiting how far back in someone's history they may go.
It is long established law that not only can a defendant not be tried twice for the same offence, but the defendant may only be punished once for that offence. The case now falls on whether there is a right to employment in the chosen field once clearly established guidelines are met. It is not too overreaching for a nursing home to demand that an applicant not be charged with murder, rape aggravated assault. However, applicants should considered on a case by case basis.
Dan, I say if you really feel that you want to do this job, then get you an attorney and fight fight fight. This issue needs to reach the Supreme Court some way.
