IS refusing to give a reference the same as blacklisting ? |
IS refusing to give a reference the same as blacklisting ? No, but no one is required to provide a reference. Many firms advise their attorneys that any questions regarding someone else's employment should be directed to HR and that they should not provide references on the company's letterhead. Star's answer is correct. Blacklist in a profsssion, industry, etc is when a person, company, organization, etc is put on a list which is distrubuted to other companies, organizations, etc not to associate in any way with the Black Listed. The US Government (Bushes administration did it publically with the Dixie Chick when they made statements against the war in Iraq) That was another form of Black Listing. There are laws against Black Listing in some countries but it can be very hard to prove. Good Luck |
