So why is it that all of a sudden companies are labeling ex-convicts as unworthy or distrustful, or incapable of performing any job tasks that of the private sector??? I'm a truck driver who was laid-off more than 18 months ago... I've yet to land a job during the recession. whereas, before I would land a job within days...now, I'm confronted with employers who place obstacles such as credit reports,criminal background checks, and or, past expierence...Explain to me why employers would see a ex-felon as a liability, or over-quailified to swing a mop, use a shovel, flip burgers,or pick up trash along side a road... I just need a job where a can be trusted with their cargo... I've been trusted before with millions of dollars of merchandise for many years, what gives?? Double standard, here??
