Can an employer deny employment to me because they think I have a drinking problem?
I was offered a decent paying job a month ago, only to have the employer yank the job offer after my background check came back(I have 2 drunk driving convictions, one 3 years old, one 5 years old and one public intox from 2007 - all are misdemeanors). They did tell me that the job offer was contingent based upon a satisfactory background check, but now I find out that alcoholism is a covered disability under ADA. My local civil liberties office says I have a case, but I would like to hear other opinions from people knowledgeable about this area of law. - The job that I interviewed for did not involve any driving, so my driving record can not be held against me and I do not have any other crimes on my record besides the ones listed above.
who ever told you that you "have a case" is an idiot.......
what you are talking about here has absolutely NOTHING to do with ADA.....
driving drunk has nothing to do with alcoholism but it does have to do with lousy judgment and immaturity.
your poor judgment and the fact that you have failed to learn from your mistakes is why you are not going to be hired.
grow up and take ownership for your past, don't make excuses or blame others for what you have done.
