Blacklisting

<p>Does anyone know about blacklisting? I filed a formal complaint with my daughter’s place of employment, on her behalf, when she was age 15. Is she blacklisted from future employment?</p>

<p>At the time of the complaint, I was told by the investigation committee, that if the complaint is “formal,” she would never be able to find work in that industry (entertainment/media) I stated that I did not want her to work in an industry where abuse is tolerated. I realize now that this was a mistake, but at the time I was unprepared for this question. And did not realize that this would be her career path.</p>

<p>She had been sexually abuse by her supervisor at work. I later got a letter from the company stating that my claim was substantiated, she had been mistreated. The abuser no longer works there and she has been invited to come back to work for them several times.</p>

<p>I got a call from a talent agency, who said they could not represent her. (She had applied for an agent without my knowledge.) When I asked why, they said it was because of her employment record. I told the talent agency she did not need an agent at this point, because she is going to study film at the university level. They replied that there is a different vetting process for executives, so then she will be OK. </p>

<p>Her advisor at high school, (she studies film in high school) said she should stay out of NY and LA. I think this is because she is blacklisted from the entertainment industry.</p>

<p>A parent at her current high school shyed away from reporting abuse because of fear that her school will have her son blacklisted.</p>

<p>Is it more important in the work place that everyone be cooperative than competent?</p>

<p>Is it a fact that abuse victims, who complain, can not find work? </p>

<p>If you are willing to take action to defend yourself or other victims from abuse, do you have to work independent of corporations and big money?</p>

<p>Is organized crime is in control of corporations and money?</p>

<p>I suspect this is pretty common. I have a client who had to sue a company once, twenty years ago, in a legitimate commercial dispute. He won the suit. He has had trouble getting bank loans and similar things ever since. The fact that he was a plaintiff in a lawsuit is constantly held against him. Luckily, he has been very successful in business, and has cultivated close relationships with some bankers and investors.</p>

<p>This is helpful information,
Thank you</p>
