Yeah I guess the employer could choose not to employ them but I don’t think they have to not employ them.
Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?
Chocrates@lemmy.world 9 months agoOp didn’t say he was convicted, aren’t felons one of the only classes we can legally diacrimate against. I would assume they could have not hired him based on the felony but now that he is hired I have no idea. Op should talk to a lawyer if they want but I doubt mich can be done legally.

I guess that is what I am getting at. You can choose to not hire an otherwise qualified felon, but you can’t do the same to a protected class because they are a member of that class.

Maybe it’s in a comment (trying to remember from yesterday) but I’m sure OP said he had spent 2 years in jail for his most recent conviction.
Also, I don’t think a lawyer is the right person to talk to in this case. If you want someone charged you talk to the police.
