Very true, except when laws of the land prohibit that practice the brilliance of the opportunity is questionable.

- zo1 12y agoWhat laws of the land might you be referring to? I'm curious, as I'm at a loss of search-terms.
- valarauca1 12y agoBlack listing laws are handled at the state level not nationally which makes simply googling them a bit difficult as every state's legal code isn't uploaded and searchable (yet).
- uiri 12y agoI think most US residents on HN live in a state where blacklisting is illegal. Washington state and New York have labour laws against blacklisting while California has a law against employers preventing previous employees from finding work. I wouldn't be surprised if most states had laws like New York, Washington or California. California Labor Code 1050-1053 may apply to blacklisting: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=lab&group=01001-02000&file=1050-1057 http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=lab&gr... Revised Code of Washington, 49.44.010 explicitly lists blacklisting as a prohibited labor practice. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=49.44.010 http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=49.44.010 NY Labor Law Section 704 lists blacklisting as an unfair labor practice. http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/LAWSSEAF.cgi?QUERYTYPE=LAWS+&QUERYDATA=$$LAB704$$@TXLAB0704+&LIST=LAW+&BROWSER=BROWSER+&TOKEN=53369305+&TARGET=VIEW http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/LAWSSEAF.cgi?QUERYTYPE=LAW...
