ILLEGAL EMPLOYMENT QUESTION

Target:
100000
Sponsored by: 

Please do something against The Cheesecake Factory for asking this illegal question on their online employment application:
 "Have you participated in a lawsuit or filed a lawsuit?"

This question should be illegal. All California, local and federal laws protect citizens and those authorized to work, so when employers ask that question they are seeking to retaliate against those that have witnessed and reported "discrimination" or "sexual harassment" in a lawsuit, or was "wrongfully terminated due to reporting a safety hazard and filed", "or wrongfully terminated for reporting a worker's compensation injury and filed", or took someone to "small claims court", or participated in helping an employee with a "restraining order", or "filed for age, wage, gender discrimination", etc...

For The Cheesecake Factory to ask this on their online employment application is wrong, unjust, retaliation and uncivil! Please, please do something to protect those that are exercising their protected rights from harmful employers like The Cheesecake Factory as earliest as possible, especially during times like these when unemployment is high. Thank you so much for your attention to this serious matter.

I agree that this question is completely irrelevant for determining whether or not someone is qualified to work at the cheesecake factory. I believe that the question is unethical. I do not believe that this is an attempt to retaliate - I DO believe that it is an attempt to weed out people who would be inclined to file a lawsuit in order to protect the company. I would also sign a petition to reduce the number of lawsuits filed against corporations. I think that while corporations should be held accountable for acts of discrimination, people who file lawsuits should also be held accountable for filing frivolous or retaliatory lawsuits.
