Fired for doing porn:The new employment descrimination

[sukumvit boy]

The good news for many GG porn fans is that Gauge is back.
The bad news is that there seems to be no legal recourse to being
fired for being a former porn star.

In the USA, the prudishness is off the charts. A lot of female teachers get fired not for doing porn but because they had photos in bikinis.

Probably every employee handbook has written in it somewhere "your employment with xyz company' is a privilege -- not a right."

In the US you can be fired for nothing.

I think it's a legal and civil rights issue whose time has come.
But it will take someone with the notoriety and financial resources to fight it in the courts.
Secondly , it's an insight into the current puritanical double standards in American society.

Doesn't it depend on the job?

OMG she looks so much like my x wife

[Ben in LA]

Gauge did some hot scenes with Jules Jordan god damn...

Well, at least you can't be fired from porn if you did porn. That would be quite the double standard.

Can't you, though? Nobody knows better than I do that no producer is required to shoot anybody they don't want to. :lol:

As to this being a new legal frontier, well, I guess my argument would be the same as it would be regarding any other type of discrimination tort: just go ahead and try proving it. It's incredibly difficult.

Big difference from being fired and not being good enough to do the job.

Yeah, I don't really know what was going on with that set. It was a wee bit too pink for even me. But hey, I got to shoot with AVN Hall of Famer Jay Ashley, so I'm putting that shoot in the plus column, ya know? :dancing:

Famer or Farmer?

What is he in the Hall of Fame for?

That's a good question. I have no idea. His wikipedia shows only one win, but numerous nominations.

Is he the performer or the shooter? I don't know who he is but I don't know many mainstream.

Is it his first time doing TS scene?

[BellaBellucci]

Sorry. I honestly have NO idea.

She announced her comeback and put out some work for Brazzers. If its in the past I hate to see stuff like that but if she is still filming sex scenes then I take no issue with her job firing her for being a current porn star.

[RallyCola]

unless she is going to work for pussyhunters or other tranny porn producer...i'll pass. she is too short for my tastes.

She had retired; they fired her because of her PAST as a porn star. She wasn't doing it concurrently.

[sukumvit boy]

Sweet , bright girl. She's "blessed" with a supportive family.
Here's the interview.
So far I've only found 1 scene ,since her return . It's called 'Dirty Masseur' .
Gauge -- she's back! - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu4CslSVss4)
Here's a few new and some very early pics.

[BellaBellucci]

It's a breath of fresh air to see so much pussy around here lately. It was becoming a total sausage fest.

~BB~

[sukumvit boy]

LOL, Yeah ,but we got the best sausages , sometimes it's hard to pull yourself away.
( All puns intended)
Some other interesting stuff , about the porn industry ,came out in the interview.
Like , the AIM foundation was forced to declare bankruptcy and shut down in 2011
because someone hacked their medical records and they got hit with a class action lawsuit.
That's fucked up!

[LOS4ME]

I have always loved Gauge and think she looks awesome in her recent interviews!

I wish her the best in the future! ;)

Depends on whether or not you live in a right to work state.

[broncofan]

States might pass laws that make these kinds of restrictions illegal, but the federal government doesn't offer protection for this sort of arbitrary exercise of discretion. With the exception of FLSA, OSHA, Title VII, ADA, the ADEA, section 1981, and the NLRA, all employment is at-will;. It would be more just if a "for cause" standard were implied into all contracts, but the Republicans might be right for once in arguing this would lead to endless litigation. And perhaps employers deserve to have some prerogative as to the personality traits and reputation of who they hire and retain.

Employers can fire you for no reason at all. But that's somewhat deceptive because there is no such thing as making a decision for no reason. What that means is an exercise of discretion on the basis of an irrelevant factor. If it's an excuse for prohibited types of discrimination (race, sex, national origin, age, religion, disability, or retaliation), they can still be sued for it. Success depends on the type and amount of proof.

[broncofan]

A firing like this though might actually be a type of sex discrimination, if it's likely that a male pornstar would not have been fired. Enforcing "standards of decency" that only women have to meet is sex discrimination, though tough to prove.
