The truth of the matter is that although protected classes would have a better shot at defending themselves against something illegal such as black listing, it's wrong on every account when a physical list is circulated even if an employee stole money! Some of us have had a course or two regarding HR law. Again... Every company has some type of system to red flag candidates to not rehire, but circulating a list of names is not legal. Being a protected class does not mean that you were wronged more than anyone else.
