Q: I am having a problem with McDonald's. Evidently I failed the background check, but they refuse explain or give reason.

Can anyone tell me, are my MN state rights being violated and stuff? Are there any lawyers that can help? Am I able to sue?

I'm sure there is more explanation I can give regarding all this, but please someone help me get some of this figured out.

A: I believe you are entitled to a copy of the background check, but they are not obligated to identify what specific information was used in denying your employment. I do not handle these types of cases, but some law firms do. Contact employment law firms directly.

A: Quite frankly, I doubt a McDonald's franchise would make such a mistake. Each store hires dozens of employees a year.
