What can be done about inadequate job discosure?
I was living on the east coast. I had a job offer in AZ through a staffing firm. I accepted and relocated. On orientation day, I found out that the end client was the Mormon Church, which was a definite religious conflict for me. This information should have been disclosed to me prior to a job offer. Law or not, there should be a means to hold this firm accountable. I had medical insurance in my former state at no cost to me now I am in an unfamiliar geographical area with no income and no insurance despite medical issues. Is there any recourse, be it legal or otherwise?

Unfortunately, there is no legal obligation whatsoever for the staffing firm to disclose the identity of the end client to you. If you asked and they lied, that may be fraud, and that would provide the possibility of suing for compensation; but if you never asked, or if you asked and they replied that they could not tell you, or simply did not reply at all (which is persmissible, since again, they were under no obligation to tell you), there is nothing you can do. When someone is not under a duty or obligation, you can't hold them accountable for not doing something which they were not required to do in the first place.
