The New York State Commission Against Discrimination today listed seven questions which it says employers are not justified in asking prespective employees.
The questions are: Are you a native born citizen? Where were your born? State the address of your relatives. State the place of your national origin. What is your religious affiliation? To which race do you belong? State your complexion.
The Commission has decided that the following queries by employers do not constitute unlawful employment practices: Are you a citizen of the U.S.A.? Is your mother a citizen of the U.S.A.? Is your father a citizen of the U.S.A.? What is your mother’s maiden name? Do you have ability to use a foreign language?
