Can I sue company for disclosing my criminal record with employees?
I applied for job at a country club. Before hiring process, the company ran a background check on me. I have proof of the manager and boss sharing information regarding a DUI with low level employees who also work there. What or is there anything I can do about this?

Your public criminal record is just that, a public record. Accordingly, you have no expectation of privacy regarding it. Therefore, unless this employer fabricated something that appears on it, you have no claim here.
