Its likely that most of us live in states where the state law is more
restrictive.

And many of us don't.

Would you consider the Family Medical Leave Act (or some such name) a
benefit?

For limited numbers of employees.

huh? it only applies to limited number of employees? I don't think
we are talking about the same thing.

Even then it only guarantees unpaid leave

among other things.

and has nothing to do with retirement plans (the genesis of this thread).

so what? you asked: "what benefits does the federal government require
of employers?"

If you're talking about the US, then yes, we are. Read the law. Here's a
starting point:

require of employers?"

And that's a good start. You implied there were others. Does the federal
government require employers to provide any other benefits besides unpaid
time off? (When I think of "benefit", I'm usually thinking of something
that is of more value than not getting paid. Something like "free" medical
coverage or matching retirement contributions - like the retirement plan
that started this thread.)

And how do you discover and prove that you're on a blacklist? Serious
question, here.

Well, since nobody seems to have an answer to this one, it appears that
blacklists are probably very much alive and well. At least, nobody on this group
seems to be aware of any means of detecting one. And if nobody can prove that
they're on a blacklist, I guess the lawyers are SOL.
