I live in Michigan. My husband worked for a company (after being laid off from his job) through a temp service. This company is unionized and must hire the temp workers if they keep them six months. My husbands supervisor at this company and the department manager put in verbal recomendations for my husband to be hired permanetly. He worked very hard, sometimes 16 hour days. He did well on testing, had years of experience and felt great after his interview. The company did not hire him and let him go after over 5 months. They told the temp service he was a great worker but they hire on a point system, determined from testing, experience and interviewing and my husband wasn't as high as the people they hired. They hired eight people. We know one of them. He has no experience in this area, but his father works there. He said all eight people hired were family members of employees. This is a paper mill. They hired a few months before this, family members with no experience. Is this legal? Is this equal opportunity? My husband was more qualified than the hired applicants, and had recomendations from supervisors (and employees) in the plant. They claim to hire on a point system, except all the family members score the highest.
