Rick Brooks had been fired from his job but a judge found that he had been wrongly dismissed. The Transportation Security Administration agreed to hire him back in 2005.

Only one problem, the Transportation Security Administration said that Brooks had to pass their background test. Brooks thought that there might be trouble ahead because he knew that he had missed child support payments in 2003 after losing his job at General Mitchell International Airport.

The Transportation Security Administration would not rehire him because he owed child support in the amount of $7.700. It was only due to his unfair dismissal that he had the financial problems that led him to miss the child support payments.

Brooks, who is 45 years old, has not been employed since a temporary job with the United Parcel Service came to a halt on January 1. During an interview, he shares his feelings about the absolutely ridiculous fact of the dismissal and rejection as that today as people lose their jobs they obviously don’t have income to pay for child support payment.

Then you get even further punished by not allowing you to work in a job that a judge said you could. This case gives you an idea of what kind of requirements that some employers make and particularly of their effect on people who are struggling emotionally and financially. The Transportation Administration Authority says that Brooks had a medical condition that make him unable to work as a screener but Brooks counteracts that saying that even if he did not have a medical condition they would not have given him his old job back because of problem of the child support payments.
