I was told that job companies are no longer supposed to use your non violent felony history against you, if this is true jobcase is not supposed to be telling me that I have multiple fellonies holding me back from getting better reviews

I made a damnable mistake, now 16yrs ago, but all employers seem to want me to be is "reliving of it". How does one get the chance/break one deserves ?

I've the same problem a felony now 16yrs ago, and despite the fact I've taken great pains NOT to make that mistake again, no one's seems to wants to take a chance once more. I'm a good man plus I'm not above taking a lower job so I can work my way up from the bottom if nessary. How does one get a chance, if anyone can offer advice-please do so. I know perserance, grit and just plain hard work should be the answer...

I was terminated from my job as a dishwasher at vines on clark.they found out of my past bank robbery conviction.they put me on unpaid leave for five days,in order for me to dispute this.i am on probation making clean urine drops.when I got hired,they didn't ask if I was a felon.and their employee rules book states that they can do a background with my signature.i never gave them a signature.is this discrimination?can I sue them?
