What are my rights if I was told by the manager of a company I was interviewing wiht that my DUI’s may prevent me from hire as a shift manager?
Did jail time in place of probation; misdemeanors only; 3 DUI’s. One while sleeping in my car with the engine running while under the influence, another one was on a horse while under the influence, and the last was actually while I was driving a vehicle under the influence.

Essentially you have no rights to be hired or not unless you were denied employment based upon some protected grounds of discrimination such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and the like. Having a criminal convictions (drinking and driving) is a legitimate concern of any employer of a potential employee.
The use of alcohol at work by an employee can cause accidents for the employer and the employer has a legal duty to protect his or her employees.
