Best Answer

Yes and no. Laws vary place to place. In general, a former employer may provide truthful information regarding your performance, job duties, and reason for ending your employment. If that information is accurate, and because of it you do not get a job, the is legal. If you worked for me for a month, I fired you for stealing, and I am contacted by another employer, I CAN tell them that. I cannot tell them your were fired for stealing if you were not.
