Gordon Leech testifies to Wisconsin Senate on Conviction Record Discrimination in Employment

On April 8, 2010, Gordon Leech testified on behalf of the Individual Rights and Responsibilities Committee of the Wisconsin Bar, the Wisconsin Employment Lawyers Association and for the thousands of Wisconsin citizens that are subject to unfair and unlawful discrimination in the hiring process because they have to disclose the existence and nature of any prior convictions when applying for employment. The Senate Committee on Labor, Elections and Urban Affairs held a hearing to consider Senate Bill SB-612, which if passed into law, would prohibit employers in Wisconsin from asking about convictions prior to selecting a job applicant for interview. Unfortunately, the 2009 session of the Wisconsin legislature is coming to a close, so the prospect of this bill passing into law this session is doubtful.
