Our HR department made this VERY clear to managers several years ago. Even showed us the laws written.

Had to let a guy go several yrs ago for many reasons. He put me down as a refernece several times. I was told by corp legal all we could say was wether he had been employed by us and if we would hire him back. Only thing I could say was yes he worked there and that at this time we didn't have any opportunities available for employment.
It may not be what they are saying but how it is worded.

Have him contact the labor board, EEOC or maybe a labor lawyer...

Its Generally not prudent as it exposes you to potential issues.

Ya I do not think it is against the law not to give out info.(not 100% sure). My company has a policy not to give out info. If you don't get the job because of us we do not want you to come back and sue.
Now that you know what could be keeping you from getting a job, tell the future employer first, explain yourself. This will go along way. If I call and get "blindsided" by some info that you did not tell me, I might move on to the next one.

I got lost in all the replys, but .... "What can an emplyrer tell a precocious employer?) Legally, not a whole lot .... practically? Anything they want to and think they can get away with. What can they get away with? As much as you think it's worth to argue over. What would I do. Doesn't compute, don't want or need an employer. What should ou do? Aint got a clue. Do what you think yo need to do.
Hope I got all this relevant and aimed int eh propper direction
