Typically black balling goes unpunished. It is often a confusing legal issue; it is more easily solved though serious, unmerciful, vengeance. I would suggest going to their house and protesting. Picket signs and loud PA speakers will do the trick. Just be ware of the neighborhood dog!
This is slander and rejection of a person in the work field. A person is black balled if they can not obtain a job or upgrade to a higher paying job due to gossip about them.
yes they can.
A former employer may inform a prospective employer at his discretion.

There are several ways to find out if you feel you are being black balled but since this would be a difficult accusation to prove, the one I would chose as being the best is consulting with a private investigator. The one I was impressed with was ICS, phone number 800-828-9198, they have a free consultation and will let you know if your case is of merit. Also they would be considered an impartial witness to your case. You can hire them to pose as a potential employer and contact your employer you believe is blackballing you, they will more than likely tape the conversation. Blackballing can be as little as a gesture, a tone of voice or by direct slander. Remember also, as with most cases, the longer you wait to prove your case, the harder it will be to win. Good luck to you.
Passively, yes. If a potential employer wants a letter of recommendation from a former employer, and the former employer knows the ex-employee is a hopeless loser or an outright crook, they will write a letter of "recommendation" that will say in effect: "So-and-so worked for us from this date until that date and was found to be 'satisfactory' ". That is the kiss of death. And the former employer has covered themselves, because they said - in print - the employee had been 'satisfactory'.

The girl bawled loudly after being scolded. The sorority applicant was black balled in the election.
Blacc Balled was created in 2003.
There is no penalty. No law compels former employers to answer.
