A Short Conclusion Related To » Employment Law Aid
Is it really smart to ban employment based on criminal record?
I mean, sure, obviously don't let a serial killer be a cop. But why would someone who got caught with a little pot be banned from stocking shelves at Kohls for a lousy 8 bucks an hour? What do we want these people to do, go back to the street? I thought that once you served your time, you were free, now you can;t get a job, you can't get financial aid, you can't get any public assistance... Why not just give everyone the death penalty, because you're not giving them a chance to live, Oh, and I don't want to hear about the "risk" to employers. LOADS of people shoplift, and usually people on parole or with records who go and get jobs are gonna be on their best behavior. Its the ones who DON'T get caught that will rob you blind. If you catch someone breaking a law, fire them and press charges, but how dare these people assume that anyone who made a mistake deserves to starve to death? In this country, we put property in front of people. I would love for a cop to explain this sick crap.
I am a cop and I would like to "explain this sick crap."
It's crazy. You are 100% right. You sentence people to a life of repeat offenses because they can't get a job to straighten thier life out. So they go back to crime to make ends meet and get through life. PLEASE DON'T FORGET that PRIVATE BUSINESSES are responsible for this, NOT POLICE. It is our job to arrest people who commit crimes, but we have no say over whether or not Kohl's hires them afterwards. I WISH that Kohl's WOULD hire them and give them an opportunity to turn things around. The crazy thing is that people are starting to lose thier jobs for all kinds of offenses including DUI's. Its crazy- but they are private businesses and no one can tell them who to hire or not to hire.
