Examples of inappropriate questions include these: “Do you belong to a labor union?”; “Are you for or against labor unions?”; “Have you ever been a member of a labor union?”

The National Labor Relations Act prohibits the discrimination of employees or applicants for employment who are members of labor unions, or who favor membership in labor unions. Furthermore, the act prohibits employers from questioning employees or prospective employees about their union membership preference.

Avoid this kind of question altogether.

Military Service

Examples of inappropriate questions include these: “Have you ever served in the armed forces of another country?”; “If you’ve served in the U.S. military, did you receive an honorable discharge?”

Employers may ask about a candidate’s U.S. military service but may not inquire about military service to another country. Questions about military service outside the United States may compel an applicant to disclose information about national origin, which may become the basis of a discrimination action.

When inquiring about a candidate’s U.S. military service, frame your inquiries in such a way as to probe for skills and abilities acquired during the period that may have direct application to the job for which the applicant is being interviewed. The training that a candidate received as a member of the armed forces is usually valuable, and questions about it are always appropriate.
