I’d also appreciate if someone could list all of the rights typically given to married people as a reference. I heard someone say that there was something like 210 legal rights involved in marriage.

In California, is it legal for employers to give bad reports on former employees?

Friday, March 13th, 2009
boy asked:


I was told that this is not legal…..all they are supposed to do is verify that I was an employee. I have been using my former employer as a reference on applications for new jobs. I had to include them on the application because I had been there for years. I was unfairly fired from this company, and then took legal action against them. They **** me, but they should keep their opinion to themselves. If they are bad-mouthing me to potential new employers, what can I do about it?

If an employer gives you a bad reference even though you weren’t fired do you have legal recourse?

Sunday, March 1st, 2009
Matt S asked:


I am unaware as to how employment laws vary from state to state. I worked at a resort in Montana where even though I had been written up twice during a 6 month period progressed to fufill my contract, did a good job, and was never suspended or given any indication that I was not welcome back. I am aware that in many states employers doing refence checks ask about a previous employees rehire status. I assumed for over a year that I would get an outstanding reference since my managers have given me good refernces to companies I have applied with. I found out that human resources does not want me back however and I am certain that I have been denied many employment opportunities because of this. Do I have any legal recourse?

Is there a reference list for “sting” operations? Are stings effective? How legal are they?

morkmath asked:


….the tactic of a law enforcement officer pretending to be a vulnerable victim seems to be a great way to net predators and make criminals think twice wondering if their mark is possibly a cop….

…The gimmicked auto that looks like it’s ripe for stealing, the older couple walking in the vicinity of punks while being watched by undercover policemen, the “child” on the web being groomed by a molester, etc….

…Shouldn’t this tactic be used practically everywhere?
