A Black man has filed an employment discrimination lawsuit against a hotel in Detroit, Michigan, alleging the hotel only offered him a job interview after he changed the name on his resume, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by CNN.
Dwight Jackson filed the lawsuit against the Shinola Hotel on July 3, alleging he was denied a job when he applied as “Dwight Jackson,” but later offered an interview when he changed his name to “John Jebrowski.”
The lawsuit alleges Jackson was denied a job in “violation of Michigan Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act.”
Wasted whose time? It’s not like we are constantly interviewing people. When people put their resume in we tell them that when a spot opens up we will call them. We encourage them to put a resume in once a month so that when we need someone they will likely get a call. I don’t understand your term ‘hiring in advance’.
How is accepting a resume when we aren’t actively hiring a scummy tactic? People ask to work here every day and we tell them that we aren’t actively hiring but we would be glad to accept a resume. The real persistent people who really want the job keep following back up and eventually they get hired and stay for years and years.
Saying that you’re hiring when you’re not hiring is the trick.
That’s not what we do
