Job discrimination: 1 in 5 won’t hire Trump supporters......

[MMC]

It’s not legal in most cases, and certainly not right, but 1 in 5 left-leaning bosses “will not hire” supporters of President Trump, and huge majorities of hiring managers want to know the positions job candidates have on highly controversial issues including race and immigration, according to a sweeping new survey.


“Workplace discrimination is a real and pressing issue, and candidates get their applications sidelined or overlooked due to these factors all the time,” according to the survey from Airtasker provided exclusively to Secrets.








In a section titled “Lets talk Trump,” the survey found that 20% of left-leaning hiring managers will not hire Trump supporters. Remarkably, 9% of right-leaning hiring managers won’t either.



And if they are hired, Trump supporters face some discrimination and criticisms from colleagues. The study analysis said that 28% joke about Trump supporters, and “23% observed people being both overly critical and making assumptions about that person’s character.”.....snip~

Imagine that. Just think if it was the other way around. How the left would act. Those jobs and managers would be protested, huh?

So you are for discriminating against people. Now why isn't that surprising.

It's illegal to even ask the question.

It’s no more illegal than asking them who they’re voting for.

That is illegal.

Why do you continually insult millions of people you don't know?

Is it? Can you cite the applicable law? The answer is "no".


There is no law which says an employer can not ask that question during a job interview. However that employer could be setting himself up for a discrimination suit in the future.

Political belief or activity - Workplace


It is against the law to discriminate against anyone in the workplace because of their actual or assumed political beliefs or activities.
Employees are protected from discrimination at all stages of employment including recruitment, workplace terms and conditions and dismissal.
Political belief or activity is where a person holds, or does not hold, a lawful political belief, or whether they participate, or refuse to take part, in a lawful political activity.
This includes holding particular political beliefs, being a member (or refusing to join) a political party or participating in political action.
Example of political belief or activity discrimination


At a job interview Joe is asked if he is a member of a conservation organisation. When he says no, the interviewer abruptly ends the discussion and tells him that all employees must share the beliefs of the employer.

While no one would go to jail it opens up the employer for a discrimination suit.

Correct. It is not against the law to ask the question as you claimed in a previous post.
