The Wisconsin Fair Employment Act prohibits discriminating against a candidate or employee because of their previous arrest or conviction records (except where nature of the conviction and job duties substantially overlap). Currently, 13 states & the District of Columbia have adopted "ban the box" legislation, whereby employers are expressly prohibited from asking or inquiring about previous records of arrest or conviction (some states allow employers to inquire about current, pending charges). Is Ban the Box right for Wisconsin? Why or why not? Employer perspective vs. employee/candidate perspectives? Should it be a local issue (i.e, City or County of Milwaukee) instead of a state-wide issue? This Discussion Board gives you the opportunity to write more about feelings / experiences / emotions vs. cold hard facts and such.
