This is, of course, California-specific, and n/a to FL law. Yet.

I was hired and then “unhired” from two jobs, one with IKEA and one with a big call center than does work for AMEX and banks. Ikea said that they would only look back 5 years. the call center 7. But they found me on the Federal registry. This is nothing new. Even in California. Landlords have gotten around the housing part of the law by saying that they are not refusing to rent because of someone being on the registry, but because they have a criminal conviction or bad credit. The government fo California does not care to enforce its own inconvenient and embarrassing law. A year or two ago, I raised the idea of suing Facebook because by banning us, it denies us access to “valuable business services” or whatever the law calls the, AND Facebook’s TOS says that you must apply CALIFORNIA law if you get into a fight wit them.

How can this be? The registry is not punishment…or so we are told.

Although CA law prohibits potential employers from discriminating against a registrant solely because he or she is a registrant, there is an exception to that law which has weakened or perhaps eliminated that prohibition. The exception is “to protect a person at risk” which unfortunately several courts have interpreted to include fellow employees. I wish this plaintiff well and if he is successful, he will create new case law that I and others will be sure to use in the future.

I love seeing people fight back against such tyranny!
