Interesting. That seems like a flaw in background checks. I could imagine it being useful if someone was charged a few months ago and awaiting trial, but in this case it certainly seems unfair.
She has an eeoc title 7 case unless her employers (that terminated her because of a record of charges) can say that they feared the charges directly impacted her possibilty of doing the job.
Being a current fugitive on a felony charge creates reasonable fear of direct impact on the possibility of doing any job, so that’s a pretty easy bar for the potential defendants. Now that its a record of charges that have bee dismissed it would be a different story with future potential employers, of course.
