What is the name of your state?AZ
I need to know if a company can legally fire a man that is a registered sex offender, I don't know if this information was included on the application, but I don't think it was. The company has 16 and 17 year olds working along side this registered sex offender.
I know AZ is a right to work state and he could be fired for any reason but the company will not act if there is a chance for unemployment or wrongful termination. I contacted the Labor board and there are no laws saying that a sex offender cannot work where children work. I also contacted EEOC and Civil Rights for the state and sex offenders are not a protected (for lack of a better word) class. But isn't that exactly what the company would be doing? Firing him based on a past crime (heinous and disgusting as it is).
Please help before one of these kids parents find out that this man is working there and all hell breaks lose. I know I would be pi**ed if I found out a sex offender was working where my child works and I was not informed.
