Question:

Is anyone interested in filing a class action suit against startek for unfair firing against employees?

if so please contact me.they decided to fire all employees with misdemeanors and felons even though everyone who came to work there signed and agreed to a criminal background check.Many had been there since the company opened 5 yrs ago and we wonder why the prisons have revolving door.This is not people who lied on their application but good honest agents who did their job and took good care of their customers.Yet they don't do drug test and the place is full of druggies.Oh by the way AT and T is their client.They just opened a call center in the Philippines for 1000 employees.Our call volume has dropped.I guess they can pay them 2 dollars per hour rather than our 9.AT and T wants their customer speaking to agents who they can't understand.It's another example of corporate at and t greed

Answer:

Yes. It would be surprising if your potetial employer didn't call your previous employers.
As I understand it, a former employer can not make a statement regarding why a person was terminated or even that they were terminated. All they can legally say without being subject to getting sued by the individual isyes, they worked here from this date to that date.
They can, if you give them the Ok to do so ? Your X employer is not by law to tell them anything personal. They can only answer if you were a good employer, and if you are willing to hire them back?
Ice racers install studs (metal screws, actually) on their tires, but it's a very painstaking job. They also have to install bits of rubber inside the tire between the tire and the inner tube, to protect the tube from the protruding screws, and installing the whole assembly on the rim is a very difficult task. (Did I mention that ice racers are an insane, dedicated bunch of people?)
Yes it is both legal and common. However the previous employer does not have to answer the question, or they may refuse to say why. Many companies do this nowadays because it could make them vulnerable to a defamation suit. My old coworker won a rather decent sum because his previous employer lied about why he was fired.
