Ex-convicts are among those who will enjoy protection from job discrimination, according to proposed changes that Newfoundland and Labrador has unveiled.
I wonder if this applies to felons on early release and parole or does it only apply to convicts who've completed their likely far to short sentences?
The most controversial aspect may be changes that will protect convicted criminals from job discrimination. If passed, Bill 31 would make it illegal for an employer to deny a job to an otherwise qualified ex-con � unless their conviction is directly connected to the possible job.
While I applaud the fact that reformed convicts be given the opportunity to hold down meaningful jobs I really wonder if making employers hire them regardless of their crimes as long as they aren't connected to that specific job somewhat disturbing.
"Some areas you're going to find that it's going be black and white," Parsons said. "It says that you can't refuse to hire someone based upon a conviction if it's unrelated to the position for which they're applying."
I guess the NL HRC will be busy prosecuting employers who, despite this bullshit law, won't hire the likes of rapists, pedophiles and murderers, even though their crimes aren't directly connected in anyway to the actual jobs the convicts are seeking.
That's a big problem The main function of prison is socialise person to his life, the main thing is that socialisation should be prolonged in society after prison of cource. Job is element of it. Here in Ukraine we have "institute of conviction". So it means that the person after a prison is under control of government few years (it depends from what crime was done). It's bullshit from one side - why someone who payed his duty before country should have addictional penalty. From the other side, society needs protection from him. To find job is problem ?1 for ex-prisoner. If he doesn't find job he will kill, rub, stole things again and again. 60 percent of criminals will be never social again, according to statistics. And another negative thing is that we never know what is on his mind, anyway we should check what job and where he will be doing:pedophiles can't work in school, it's visible.
