yeah.... fuck mcy ds i dont even eat that shit let alone make that garbage haha, i have over 4 yrs of manufacturing exp. i think there some kinda law about how a person cant be disseminated against if it doesn&#8217;t directly relates to the job&#8230;

like I could under stand if I stold something or if I had a violent background....

like For a truck driver a dui&#8230;might disqualify him for the job&#8230;

Yea felonies are big black spots on resumes. Even if not convicted your employers will see that you were arrested. Getting a job will be hard, but by no means impossible.

Yes, it is illegal to discriminate - however, the sad truth is, there are lots of ways around that. For instance - the company you're applying at can say, for example, that you aren't the candidate they are looking for, or perhaps you're "overqualified" for the position - and so on - when in reality it is based on your background. Good luck proving it, however.
