That stuck out at me too. So, all you have to do to completely lie on your resume and keep employed, is pretend to be union organizing?

- jdiff 2y agoNope, that's also not allowed.
- frapaconi 2y agoHow is it not allowed? Employers can’t choose who they want to hire? You’d obviously word it differently: unfortunately you’re not as good as another candidate. Better luck next time!
- immibis 2y agoIt's not allowed because of exactly what you just said.
- ethbr1 2y agoHow would you know? Equifax Employment Verification et al. Which begs the question of whether those are illegal too...
- saagarjha 2y agoEmployers can’t choose who they want to hire when that decision is related to union involvement, yes. You’re not the first person to think that hiding the real reason for employment discrimination somehow makes it legal. It is not.
- ralferoo 2y agoI'd imagine it'd go to court and the union would have to testify that this is the case, and also have documentary evidence to back it up.
- p_l 2y agoInventing qualifications is probably still not legal. Now, not mentioning a job in the past, or some details of it, are a different case.
- tzs 2y agoNo. You can lie about union organizing because an employer is not allowed to use whether or not you are a union organizer when making hiring or firing decisions. If you lie about something that the employer is allowed to use in making those decisions they can fire you.
