PA is a state just like yours, a will to work state. You can be fired for any reason at all but if you fight hard enough, you can win the battle. I had a sexual harassment issue at my old job. I worked in a clean room characterizing certain proprietary materials. When you are in a full bunny suit, it is difficult to hear behind you and basically you are wearing full garb so only your eyes are sticking out. There were two co workers who used to come up behind me and grab my breasts etc. (I couldn't see them or hear them so they were on me before I knew it) They did other things as well that I won't even get into here. I took the whole company to court and won....not much but I still won. My supervisor was aware of what was going on and was also aware of my disablitiy yet he did not protect me in any way. He told me they didn't mean anything by it and he would talk to them. WHAT in that supposed to mean??? Boys will be boys?? I was outspoken about each time it happened and I also defended myself but they began making it difficult for me to work there. Yeah, it was my will to work, but it was my will and want to work in an environment where I didn't have to be touched by other men when I am a married woman.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

I personally would hope that people in direct contact with my children  would have a complete background check done on them.

When I went to hire a nanny for my children, I went to the county sheriffs dept and paid my 15.00 and got a bkg check done on this person.  She told me that she had nothing to hide and even gave me her ssn and DL #.

I know the place where my husband works does not do bkg checks, hell at one time they had 8 SO's working for them. (The only reason I know this is because I visited the local abuse refuge foundation).  These men had been in my home numerous times for BBQ's and such.

As far as every job requiring a bkg check, that would be almost impossible to comply with.  People with authority definately should,  ie..docotors, lawyers, police, teachers and so on. (they usually are done on these professions)  Wal-Mart, Kmart employess give the right to do a background check on them but they are rarely done.  Kmart employees have to be bonded(I have worked for both companies for numerous years)

But on the other hand if you have nothing to hide from prospective employers and are straight up honest with them,  they are usually a lil more sympathetic.  (I worked with a man convicted of 4 counts of rape once) and he was alone with women regularly.  A lot of employers give people a chance, but I do live in a Right to Work state where they can fire you for absolutely no reason.  At will employment, I guess they could hire you and if they did find out anything that negative about you that you can be fired with no explanation.  What a wonderful state I live in.
