For example, if a state has a statute allowing citizens to say no to a certain question if a specific set of conditions are met, and later a licensing agency of that same state asks applicants to answer yes regardless of the statute (and may require a signature waiving all legal liability), these 3 questions arise:
-
Can a licensing agency or an employer force a person to waive his/her statutory rights as a condition to licensure/employment and
-
Can a person file suit in federal court citing the 14th amendment to protect the right to say no and still gain licensure or employment?
-
Can a person use an alias to protect his/her reputation in a state or federal court case? I see many cases involving Jane Does and John Does and the like.
I know that some companies blacklist people who filed lawsuit against their former employers(other companies), and later that blacklist gets circulated.
Sounds like you’ve got something particular in mind.
A seemingly appropriate comparison would be getting a driver’s license. Here in the Garden of Evil State (New Jersey), the Motor Vehicles Commission requires your Social Security Number for damned near everything. A few years back, they screwed my SSN up by one digit, resulting in a suspension of my license. In a bureaucratic example of ineptitude, it took them 2 1/2 years to allow me to know that they wouldn’t reinstate my driving privilege because of that error, and I was required to provide proof of my legitimate SSN. Mind you, providing an SSN is supposed to be voluntary (with the exception of certain Federal instances like taxes). The MVC response to me asserting this was, “no problem, just give us $1500 and never drive again.”
Kind of a lose-lose situation.
