There are no specific legal protections for unemployed people, however. Current employment is simply not a measure of job performance. <br /><br />To add insult to injury, another idea that is gaining popularity (although not much legislation yet) is drug testing anyone who receives unemployment insurance benefits. Since when is losing your job evidence of drug abuse? It is such a mean-spirited time in our country.Algernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698040927871199780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33980200.post-21387507700995449142011-06-21T06:32:11.129-05:002011-06-21T06:32:11.129-05:00The media jumped on this trend... to not hire the ...The media jumped on this trend... to not hire the jobless. Hopefully, that will have some impetus. It's crazy.<br /><br />I think, as time goes by, employers who do credit checks before employment will become fewer and fewer. Too many risks.<br /><br />quidquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954222271507913856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33980200.post-80912260707702450312011-06-21T06:15:31.316-05:002011-06-21T06:15:31.316-05:00That's pretty awful.

You're stereotyping people based on one thing, refusing to look at anything else.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.com
