Todays job application...

[BlueStreak]

Many employers want people they can control, it's as simple as that.

I have a friend who is now a plant manager, recently told me that if you look at an application and see that an employee has been employed in a union environment, "...that's two strikes against them from the get-go.". I asked him if he would hire himself then, as he spent 12 years in maintenance at the paper mill.

Of course I never got an answer.

Anyhow, I probably wouldn't want to work in the gun place, unless I had little choice. If they felt compelled to ask, something tells me they might not be very tolerant in any other way, either. Mentioning ANY "liberal" thoughts at all would probably be a bulls eye on your back. You would have to make sure you are highly indispensable to them before you let them know you don't necessarily share their ideology.

I look for more of this kind of shit to become common practice in the future.
