Apple reverses policy banning recent felons from working on Campus 2 construction

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Apple today has decided to reverse its stance on a policy that prevented recently convicted felons from working on its Campus 2 (http://www.imore.com/tag/campus-2) construction project.</p> <!--break--> <p>Speaking to the San Jose Mercury News (http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_27881493/apple-rescinds-policy-hiring-felons), an Apple spokesperson issued the following statement:</p>

<p>"It recently came to our attention that, as part of a background check process unique to the Apple Campus 2 construction project, a few applicants were turned away because they had been convicted of a felony within the past seven years," the spokesman said in a statement. "We recognize that this may have excluded some people who deserve a second chance. We have now removed that restriction and instructed our contractors on the project to evaluate all applicants equally, on a case by case basis, as we would for any role at Apple."</p>

<p>An earlier report (http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_27860488/apples-ban-felons-construction-project-draws-criticism) out of the San Jose Mercury News claimed that fewer than five people had been fired because of their criminal history, but the policy still drew fire from unions.</p> <p>Source: San Jose Mercury News (http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_27860488/apples-ban-felons-construction-project-draws-criticism); Via: 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/04/09/apple-reverses-felon-policy/)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/4542922f/sc/15/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
