TO TELL COMPANIES TO HIRE PEOPLE WITH FELONY CONVICTIONS AND HAVE COMPANIES TO REMOVE THE QUESTION FROM APPLICATIONS

THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH FELONY CONVICTIONS THAT ARE OUT OF WORK DUE TO THE STRICT CORPORATE RULES OF NOT HIRING FELONS OR PAST EX-OFFENDERS. ALSO ON EMPLOYMENT APPLICATIONS, COMPANIES ASK THE QUESTION OF HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A FELONY. THIS QUESTION SHOULD BE ELIMINATED FROM ALL EMPLOYMENT APPLICATIONS. JUST BECAUSE A PERSON HAS A FELONY CONVICTION OR PAST CONVICTION, DOES NOT MAKE THEM LESS OF A WORKER. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO REFORMING THE EX-OFFENDER. INDIVIDUALS WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS OR PAST RECORDS DO NOT HAVE A CHANCE AT LANDING A GOOD JOB. MANY INDIVIDUALS WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS DO HAVE FAMILIES AND NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THERE FAMILY. HOW COULD THIS BE DONE IF YOU CAN NOT FIND A JOB BECAUSE YOU ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED UPON BECAUSE OF A PAST CONVICTION OR CRIMINAL RECORD.
